Treatment of Alcoholism and Bisexuality?
Should psychotherapists be able to help unhappy bisexual people " focus" their orientation to one orientation or the other gay or straight ?Less than 50 yrears ago alcoholism and homosexuality were seen as moral weaknesses and sins. Homexuality was also seen by the APA as a personality disorder mental disease .Then alcoholism was " researched" and is now recognized as a disease, not a moral . Homosexuality has been " researched" and now is no longer a disease.In fact, the APAS has set guidelines in this area. If a person today goes to a psychologist for help changing his lifestyle from alcoholic to dry, he will be given help. But if a person today asks for help to stop acting out on homosexual urges, that psychologist is now barred by the APA from helping that person go straight. apa.org pi lgbc guidelines.html So if I want help eliminating gay urges, my therapist can't help. Should shrinks be able to help unhappy bisexual people " focus" their orientation?I just read " Psychologists are supposed to help you bond with your true nature and suppress things that are harmful to you and society." Sounds like Big Brother to me. I want the therapist to help me " be what I want to be," rather than him help me " be what he thinks I am."
Did You Know LSD is one of the most successful treatments of alcoholism?
The LSD somehow gave these people experiences that psychologically took them outside of themselves and allowed them to see their own unhealthy behavior more objectively, and then determine to change it, said Dyck, who read the researchers published and private papers and recently interviewed some of the patients involved in the original studies many of whom had not had a sip of alcohol since their single LSD experience 40 years earlier.According to one study conducted in 1962, 65 per cent of the alcoholics in the experiment stopped drinking for at least a year and a half the duration of the study after taking one dose of LSD. The controlled trial also concluded that less than 25 per cent of alcoholics quit drinking for the same period after receiving group therapy, and less than 12 per cent quit in response to traditional psychotherapy techniques commonly used at that time.Jon you are a shillDagon Adonis Anat Asherah Ashima Astarte Atargatis ' Ba'al Berith Chemosh ' Dagon Derceto El Elyon Eshmun Hadad Kothar Melqart Moloch Mot Qetesh Resheph Shalim Yam Yarikh YHWH ...refer to any number of local spirit deities worshipped as cult images, each called ba'al and regarded in that context as a false god.....................................False Fish God Be GoneDanny S I really appreciate your participation in this question thank you so much Quote " Bill Wilson who s obsession to drink even though he could not metabolize EtOH properly and resulting in an uncontrollable craving for more was completely removed as the result of a drastic spiritual experience he had" ..............................................................................As for the spiritual side of things I would personally recommend Psilocybin Over Lysergic acid diethylamide. The likes of which sacred fungi, roots and plants have been used since the ancient days to enduce ecstatic trances, deeper insight and indeed Spiritual Awakening.
