Are we our brain chemistry/network (the physiological) us, or is our brain programming (the psychological)?
The answer is in the interaction, and since this can't be clearly defined or measured ATM (and perhaps never can) I take the view that what we really need is data on what to treat for who and leave the ideology out of it.
Easier said than done... :)
Edit: It's not that such questions don't matter in how individuals see themselves, and may be part of therapy...but a bucketload of issues have been caused by the hardliners on each end, and as it's such a difficult to answer question, sometimes to me it feels like wasting time that can be used for developing treatments... which have to come from both ends :)
