I think there's a lot going on to get to the bottom of causation: PET scans (imaging), advances in immunology, genetics, etc...
I can't imagine what brain damage (I think there's damage even at low doses of ecstacy)can do to help
psych disorders. I've seen teens sucking on pacifiers to help with ecstacy induced tooth grinding.
> i wonder if plain old psychotherapy, and other methods of tapping the unconscious will ever make a comeback, something to ponder....johnI sure hope not! Freud said: "I have found little that is "good" about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think."
