On KevinMD.com, there was an excellent article on clinical errors. While I realize this was written more for the medical community, it applies to healing and alternative practices. I'll let you read the full article but I'm just going to highlight a few that stuck out to me as I was reading it. The following is my own take and perception on these items. They are not meant to be aligned with the article on KevinMD.com that I reference.
1) The Placebo is just as powerful as modern medicine. While many pharmaceutical companies do not highlight the effect of placebos, they often heal just as well as the medication or treatment.
2) Many diseases do not all of the sudden show up. There is a progression over time. They are gradual. Identifying what is going on in the person's life prior to the symptoms appearing is critical. Learning how to help the client change their life is more likely to offer long term healing, rather than a quick fix.
