Re: [tips] Talk Therapy Found to Ease Schizophrenia

Thnx Chris. Fascinating article/study. Of course, the "talk therapy" was more 
than simple conversation but part of help with everyday tasks and focused 
problem-solving conversations that sound like skill-building and learning what 
they might actually Do to control symptoms. I imagine the general reader will 
read other things into the idea of "talk therapy." Some interesting material to 
share with classes as to treatments and types of skills needed by psych 
therapists.  Gary

 But will the insurance companies ever be convinced to cover long term talk 
therapy?

Also appears to have included a family education component. Reasonable approach 
given the role of Expressed Emotion (family over-involvement, intrusiveness) in 
relapse for Schizophrenia?

[tips] Random Thought: A Chance Meeting

[Louis Eugene Schmier]

Susie and I were in a local restaurant the other evening.  We were 
sitting there, looking at the menu.  A server from another table looked at me 
and asked, "You Dr. Schmier?"  

"Last time I looked," I answered with an impishly grin.  

The server smiled back.  "That was some class we had the last semester 
before you retired (Fall, 2012).  Never had another one like it.  It really got 
to me. You really got inside me and somehow saw what I needed, like no other 
professor has.  Because of that class and the way we learned about the history 
and ourselves, I now have such confidence in myself and believe I can do 
anything I want.  That's all because of you."  

"Thank you, but it's really because of you," I quietly replied.  

It was TJ.  He's a psych major.  I could feel the latent teacher within 
me rise to the surface when I asked him what he was going to do after 
graduation, 

"I'm going to be a physical therapist, but I have to take physiology 
classes and the like after I graduate."

I burst out with something like, "You're going to be a teacher, then.  
Psych's a great major for that."

I startled him.  "I'm not going to be a teacher," he quickly and 
nervously exclaimed.  "No, sir.  I going to be just a physical therapist." 
  
"Really?  How is what you want to do so different from what we did?  
You want to help people, don't you?  You're going to treat whomever walks 
through the door with respect and without conditions or judgments, aren't you?  
You're going to have to deal with your patients, not just their aches and 
pains, aren't you?   You're going to have to show them, teach them, how to 
properly do their exercises, aren't you?  You going to have to convince them, 
give them confidence, help them overcome their fears, that they can get through 
the often agonizing exercises, aren't you?  You going to have to listen to 
them, aren't you?  You go to have to be understanding, especially if they don't 
do their 'homework,' aren't you?.  You're going to have be understanding if 
they don't do all the reps of all the exercises, aren't you?  You going to have 
to be patient with your patients, aren't you?  You're going have to put them at 
ease, encourage them, support them, and help get them through their pain.  
You're going to have to push them slowly and caringly beyond what they think 
they can do or want to do, aren't you? You have to focus on the humanity of 
those people, get to know them, to set up an individual plan of therapy taking 
into account who they are, not just their malady, aren't you?You're going 
to have to have a kind and caring and believing 'you can do this,'  aura about 
you, aren't you?"  You're going to have to help them believe that you believe 
they can recover if they do whatever you asked them to do, aren't you? 
Sounds like what we did in class, what you just said I did with you.  As I see 
it, you're going into the people business, not just the physical therapy 
business.  You're going to be a teacher."

"Yeah, never thought about it that way.  It's that faith, hope, and 
love, it's that teaching with 'lovingkindness' with each person you always 
showed us."

I nodded. We talked a few more minutes before he had to go to his 
tables. I turned to look at Susie.  She was smiling at me with that "once a 
teacher always the teacher" smile.  I must have nodded at her showing a 
combined sadness and warmed joy.  

All this jogged my memory of another serendipitous moment that occurred 
a few weeks back as I was walking Boston's Heartbreak Hill when I came up with 
the statement that a vision of teaching and philosophy of education is not what 
you have, but what you do.  More on that later.   

Make it a good day
