What is the difference between Psychotherapy and Natural Psychotherapy?
Question:
Answers:
Natural psychotherapy is a program invented by a New York psychologist Eric Riss, Ph.D. It is a form of talk therapy, which argues that all psychological problems have no biochemical basis and are in fact not illnesses at all. "The so-called "mental illnesses" are not real medical conditions. They are: bio-psycho-social and spiritual crises that can be resolved by appropriate psychological methods."
I think it's arogant ignorant and dangerous nonsense :) which disagrees with tons of neurological research of the last 50 years or so. I am not impressed this guy is willing to treat people by email and phone, if they don't live in/visit NYC. In my state, that alone might be enought to cost this guy his license to practice.
