Matan1
1) who are you to say or decide that the mind and spirit are not connected how much time have you spent studying and observing the spirit did you read the books of Zohar Or other thousands of mamrei chazal which discuss how the spirit works ? You are making an argument with out any scientific proof. the mind is very closely connected to our spirits. (and I am not talking about the Neshome) our spirits don’t just care about our spiritual feelings they care very much about our physical state and comfort I suggest that you do a little reading and observing the people around you including your own spirit before you come to any stupid conclusions.
2)Freud ordered his own murder whichever fancy language you want to use.
3)Criminals I am trying to make a point. that Modern Psychology has failed !!! look at the results !! look at societies problems !! they do not have proper solutions. I personally have treated many criminals by helping them understand their spirits and mindsets and using it to be successful in their jobs and keep out of trouble every trait can be used to the good or bad.
4)I have watched some of my patients being slowly killed off by drugs. it should be the very last option.
5)if you read my post you will see I did not say its heresy I just said and will say again WHEN YOU WILL START BELIVING IN YOUR OWN SPIRIT. OBSERVE IT AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND IT DAVEN TO HASHEM TO GIVE YOU THE KOWLEDGE. YOU WILL SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE AND BE ABLE TO HELP MANY PEOPLE.
I am not attacking you that you are doing anything wrong trying to study phycology.
You asked what our feelings about it are as frum yidden.
I gave you my observation after reading many psychology books studying many years many sefarim on chomas hanefesh and a lot of practical experience.
you don’t have to accept it from me but keep your mind open and don’t come to conclusions before you study properly and look at results.
