I guess I was pretty naive not to look at copyright laws before posting this. I have taken the quote out, since I have not yet obtained approval from its original author, and even making the quote less than 1000 words seems to bind me to a time limit as to how long I can keep the quote available for eveyone to read. Its unfortunate that you did not leave me a way to contact you, so I could inform you of this correction personally. Thanks again -liz Thank you for pointing this out to me, Concerned.

You will need to look into Fair Use especially when you are using close to 1400 words in one quote from the original work.

I wonder how often spiritual symbols appear in the art of the mentally challenged who one would assume feel no pressure to 'act normal'?

Sleep deprivation is a huge problem with sooo many people, and has been implicated in the onset of all sorts of mental illness, including depression, mania, anxiety disorders and addiction. In my experience, many people are over caffeinated, over stressed and over sugared, staying up all night watching tv, etc...discussing healthy life style choices is definitely a key issue that needs to be addressed when it comes to sleep needs.

We know that having dreams is not just healthy but essential to mental health so getting the patient to sleep properly should be the logical first step in any therapy not medication, in my opinion. If sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations why shouldn't the first step in therapy be to address all the day to day things that affect the quality of sleep? antidepressants, birth control pills, ADD medicines, respiratory medicines not to mention all the things we as a society all know affect sleep, coffee, tv, recreational chemicals, stress ad infinitum. I honestly think it's more important for the patient to be unconscious for a while if you really want to heal them, not just address the manifestations of the trauma as they happen. Ever quit smoking? If you only address the cravings as they happen you are likely to relapse, but if you learn to be healthy you learn to ignore the cravings....
