>My own research has demonstrated that a belief in God is associated with significantly better treatment outcomes for acute psychiatric patients I don't believe this for a second. The author has a gigantic conflict of interest comparing his own philosophy (which he has attempted to transfer to a number of other therapists) and this article. I we want to have reasonable information about this then it will take other people with no connection to the author who attempt to repeat his treatments. That's not going to happen. This article disgusted me. If you're going to use a psychological placebo you better have a valid treatment to compare it. And how easy to throw the term "spirituality" around without defining it. There's no evidence a god exists and there no evidence that spirituality exists as a physical manifestation.
