• All of that makes me think that therapy can be seen, but not told, as a sort of religion.

  • No. Therapy doesn't rely on the supernatural.

    However, it ought to be more evidence based ideally. And there is the snag: Will the biological model (drugs + brain scans) lead the way?
    Or do we have to go with the programming (how people see themselves, which is groupeable but subjective and harder to "prove" effectiveness?)

    And even picking that is subjective, I would not take anti-depressants unless nothing else that's not drug based works. That's my programming.

    Ideal there's a set of choices that are all backed by hard evidence + a clear clinical pathway on which one is best (like with many diseases)

    Not there yet...
