Analyze an assessment tool used to treat and diagnose mental and/or behavioral disorders. How is the tool used in the field? What are the benefits and challenges associated with the tool?

it is the way we have in our end of the 20th century of helping many people to find their, themselves and their way of life that will be satisfying and will give them the joy that, uh, that human beings have certainly a right to have. And I’m not ashamed at all that I’m a psychotherapist. I became a therapist because I saw that’s where people unburden themselves. That’s where people will show what they have in their hearts. Uh, and they don’t show that in philosophy. They don’t show it in, uh, well in most religions these days, they also don’t show it. This is why so many people in California join the cults. Now, I happen to believe in meditation, and I do it myself. And, we’ve learned a lot of things from India and Japan. But, we cannot be Indians or Japanese. Uh, and we must find a form of religious observation,religious experience that will fit us as pioneers of the 21st century.

· 17:05JEFFREY MISHLOVE You, a couple of moments ago, you referred to the term, “A New Age”, and of course the new age is kind of a popular term, these days, for, for many different, a wide scope of activities. And I would gather from my familiarity with your work that you’re critical of, of a good deal of this as, as glossing over, you know, basic human pain and attempting to make nice, and, I suppose these are some of the same criticisms, perhaps that, that Freud had of religion.
