Discussion : FICIP
Read the news article assigned in this week’s FICIP and respond to the following:
This op ed for Fox News opens with, “Recently, many people who have e-mailed me asking whether there are parallels between God’s teachings and the field of psychiatry and psychology.” What parallels do you see?
The article states that “people suffer to the extent that they are removed from the truth. People are healed to the extent that they embrace it, no matter the cost.” How does this statement interact with your clinical theory?
Do you agree with the premise of this op ed, that Jesus was the first psychiatrist? Explain and support your opinion.
