Our generation has gotten too used to quasi psychology and pop psychology.

We expect things to be accomplished, major problems to be resolved, within 27 minutes plus three minutes for commercials, and the answers that are given are usually just right and they fit the problem and then we go on with the rest of our day. Nothing is complex, nothing is complicated, nothing requires extra energy, input, or most of all nothing requires thought. This seems to contrast with the major heavy problems that require intensive psychotherapy over the course of years in order to resolve issues that are beyond the capability of most people, as well as long term care for those who cannot care for themselves.

One thing seems to be left out of this whole picture.

The mind being intelligence, using our heads in order to resolve issues and handling things by using our intelligence. Sometimes things do not need to be solved by using vast psychological efforts. Sometimes things are not solved easily in 27 minutes of finding just the right solution. And sometimes things are not resolved at all. In those cases perhaps it's best to find a natural solution, an intelligent solution which takes a bad situation and keeps it from getting worse.

Some things can't be handled and our efforts to do something about them just waste the patient's time. Other things can be handled, but to a small degree, and our investment in curing and the patient's time trying to be cured might be used in a better way. Not everything can be cured. Not everything is worthy of an investment of time. Sometimes we just have to accept a bad situation.

By making a great effort to change a bad situation we may be simply making a bad situation worse. We might be tying up a person's life for an extended period of time only to get minimal results. During that extensive period of time could have been a contributing member of society, whereas now, after tying up his time, he has lost a substantial part of his life. Perhaps it is better to just be quiet and to go on with your life in many cases. Not every problem requires treatment.

Very often, our job should be or our function should be to help people accept new limitations rather than try to bring things back to the way they were. Very often this acceptance can be more useful than an attempted and possibly unacceptable cure.

Does this mean that psychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy should hence force for should now step back and let time do its thing and nature go through its course naturally? Of course not. Psychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy have their place and they do have to be used when there are certain problems. However, they should not be ubiquitous. They should be limited and in many cases the replacement should be simply working with a person who has a problem or a difficulty and getting them to either accept or to deal with their problem in a socially responsible manner, rather than finding a perfect cure. Rather than attempting to find a perfect but all-too-often elusive cure.

This website, therefore, presents a unique and minimalistic approach to issues and problems. It presents different personalities, different ways that people are or the way they act, and it recommends accepting them for what they are. It represents different problems and issues and it explains how in non-technical, simple language, how it is possible to deal with these issues and problems rather than how to cure them. It demonstrates cases in which somebody could be cured from having a specific difficult problem, but in so doing they create a different problem that replaces it. This cure is therefore of questionable value.

Most of all this website is a response to a culture which assumes that psychiatry and psychology can and should solve all of our problems and it stands back and looks at the issues in a more reserved and practical manner. It suggests that today's world needs less automatic and kneejerk doing and more thought evaluation and quiet tempered and less intrusive action.

Yes, science has provided mankind with many powerful instruments that allow professionals to tamper with the human mind. This website is a call for limiting and restricting the use of those all too powerful tools and instruments.
