RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A significant portion of religion�s misplaced reliance is on
the �expertise� of psychiatry and psychology for the diagnosis and
handling of emotionally distraught individuals. Foremost, persons
in such desperate circumstances must be provided proper and effective
medical care. Medical�not psychiatric�attention, good nutrition,
a healthy, safe environment, activity that promotes confidence and
effective education will do far more for a troubled person than
drugging, shocks, and other psychiatric atrocities.
2. As either a cleric or parishioner, insist only on scriptural, moral approaches
to address problems in life. True religious counseling can provide workable
spiritual values by which a person can judge his own conduct and take eff ective
action to regain personal responsibility for self and others.
3. Churches should rid their schools of atheistic psychological and psychiatric
curricula so that children are no longer influenced by their humanistic, godless
approach to life.
4. Churches should replace psychiatric and psychological programs in their
hospitals and other facilities with medically recognized programs and faith
components to assist healing.
5. Churches of all denominations should work together to provide humane and
workable social services, such as drug rehabilitation, assisting the elderly,
literacy and education programs, and religious programs in the community. They
should refuse to allow psychiatry and psychology�s atheistic lies to create
conflict within and between religions.
6. If a parishioner has been assaulted, forcibly treated or damaged by a psychiatrist,
psychologist or other mental health practitioner, encourage them to report any
incidents of crime and abuse to the police and to their nearest branch of the
Citizens Commission on Human Rights, who can assist them.
