Date: Mon, 18 Nov 1996 23:44:50 GMT From: Chris Burford <cburford-AT-gn.apc.org> Subject: M-PSY: Treating "causes"? Miles: ------ In response to Matt D.'s response I do think that it is necessary to try and determine more than symptoms to effect their relief. I think it is necessary to try and discover "cause." Surely that would also effect treatment. Chris B: -------- Psychologists have some good treatments for anxiety states, that do not depend on identifying the cause. Besides you put "cause" in inverted commas thereby implying the difficulty of identifying one single cause in a world in which everything connects with everything else. Why do you argue this way? And if you are going to emphasise certain groups of causes, which ones do you think marxists should favour "curing"? --- from list marxism-psych-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
