IntroductionIntroduction
1. Psychotherapy is the only form of therapy there is. Since only the mind can besick, only the mind can be healed. Only the mind is in need of healing. This does notappear to be the case, for the manifestations of this world seem real indeed.Psychotherapy is necessary so that an individual can begin to question their reality.Sometimes he is able to start to open his mind without formal help, but even then it isalways some change in his perception of interpersonal relationships that enables him to doso. Sometimes he needs a more structured, extended relationship with an "official"therapist. Either way, the task is the same; the patient must be helped to change his mindabout the "reality" of illusions.~ 3 ~
