Hello everyone, it might be of interest,
regarding the relative merits of therapies, to consider that when therapies were
actually compared for efficacy they were all found to be somewhere around the
65-70% effective. A not unimpressive result, unfortunately, the spontaneous
remission rate is also within the same range.
Clearly, what we bring to any therapy will have an
influence on the efficacy of that approach. Given the group dynamics on a pc
course, and the feeling made palpable by the enthusiasm of all teachers and most
participants that all are engaged in an attempt to improve the world, it is not
surprising that these courses often have a profound effect on participants - and
not just the students as the teachers are seeing their life choice validated by
reflected enthusiasm.
But such group-induced effects are also
state-dependent, ie they require the group situation to be
re-entered/re-enjoyed. It seems to me that for pc to become truly effective it
should move from isolated course events to integration with communities
(Robert's work in OKC for example and Robyn's newly certified course that is
part of the normal education system and not some alternative lifestyle choice).
PC, like anything, not only needs to meet people in their ordinary lives, but it
has to remain there. It also, and this refers back to some threads
here this summer, needs to prove its efficacy by the integrity of
example.
