clipped by: abailart Clip Source: 64.233.183.104 Let us hope for the advent of a psychiatry which places the psychic crisis in a wider context, that of man in search of himself, a potentiality inherent in all of life’s expressions. Psychiatry will then be able to fully inhabit its function, that of an awakener of consciousness and an artisan of peace. It is in becoming fully sensitive that the psychiatrist will be able, most appropriately, to use the recommended treatments, all the while knowing that the real cure is not to be found in a pill, but in the one who takes it. psychiatrist and patient are not so very different from the student of wisdom who seeks fulfilment in an integrated life and in the awareness of joy without cause. losely bound friends, who spend some time together and contribute to each other’s happiness: that of being heard for the patient in need of love, and that of being respected for the psychiatrist in need of recognition. When sensitivity and power unite, love becomes a force of conviction and transformation. Tags: psychiatry ...
