CSS in particular.

And of course The Christian World View of Psychology and Counseling. and George Rekers other work, The Christian World View Of The Family.

I admit I have an axe to grind. So I’d like some peer review from someone likely to be more objective about it than I am.

I can actually imagine operant conditioning involving pain-stimulus/reward as being the only way to ensure the safety of some severely intellectually disabled people. I’d just want an ethical panel to review each individual case, as there’d be few of them.

I think the study was pretty specific and would have eliminated those cases from consideration. However, I will need to look at it to see for sure. You make a good point though about several attempts and the implications of those trials.

It’s firmly believed that some of my severity is because of a couple doctors trialing nearly every med ever made before introducing lithium. And you know some of the consequences of those years all too well…….
