[QUOTE="GeOeAeTe, post: 3056487, member: 128169"] Why offer it? Because there is clinical evidence that it DOES improve patient outcomes. Period, end of story. You seem to want to continue to dismiss alternative therapies merely because you don't like them or don't agree with them. That does not negate the fact that there are plenty of studies out there that indicate many forms have excellent outcomes in the field. Nor does it negate the fact that many traditional or Western therapies have very poor sucess rates and continue in use. And yes, there is a HUGE spiritual element to mental health- in point of fact, a large section of mental health nursing is learning to address these spiritual needs. And many clergy are trained to deal with it, and not all those clergy are Christian, traditional or familiar to us. Did I read you correct in stating that you don't even think that research into CATs should be funded or was that me just being tired from a long day? Because that is a scary statement to me.
