Summary: | Claims that emerging therapeutic approaches of psychiatrists and pastoral therapists need to combine medication for biochemical processes and meaning for framing experience.

Notes that treatment ought to focus on early detection of survival reactions and that drugs take the edge off unnecessary arousal, although dialogue remains necessary to reestablish a trusting relationship in an ambiguous world. |
