  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I am studying psychology tons of psychology etc on top, and seen a lot many therapists do not get the education about narcissism in the education if they want to know they have to take extra. And still there are limited information I suggest Prof Sam Vaknin for more information
as well I have enough experience close by of them to know it is a serious disorder and even spiritual reality behind many.
Er, okay? Not sure what you are trying to say but mental health disorders having a spiritual component is an unevidenced assertion.

not really, only for the DSM. they usually deny spiritual stuff and call it delusions. well yes and no. According to exorcists that do this and are educated therapists for example Fr Rippberger he say it can be hard to separate mental health between the spiritual, how it is a fine line. He talks about these things(youtube) He is a psychologist and an exorcist. And the church has therapists connected they send people to. so they say it is usually 50/50 mental health disorders and spiritual issues. That is what they say. And many of the therapists are believers

I certainly agree that any inflicted people need a proper examination at all levels not just one. Physically, mentally and spiritually. Then we have therapists that encounter demonic oppression or possession in their work that come forth one that was praying for their client at the end of the session and it manifested and from there it snowballed. She say the same as Fr Rippberger, 50/50, the need for examination both mentally and spiritually and she is having plenty of cases all the time. I think this illustrates combined with Fr Rippbergers own experience that we cannot just say all are just mental health. Same the church works with another famous psychiatrist Richard Gallagher, he has helped the church for decades and very well renowned he was a hard core sceptic and held to no demons everything is mental health. He was faced with demons through his work with the exorcists through the church and saw things that he could not deny. He helped with evaluations and became a believer because of what he experienced. If that is not proof... He has written books about it. He is all over the place.

I`m more like, lets treat the whole person and eliminate it all, how can we be certain it is only one thing if we don`t we really can`t, and also the enemy can mask himself to make it look like certain disorders or mental health he is a master of deception and the exorcists mention this specifically. This is how he play, anxiety depression oh you only have .. when it turned out not. I do not think we can divide it up but need to examine all bits physical,mental and spiritual to get a more whole examination. If nothing else to take precautions. For the poor clients sake.

No we don’t. That’s nonsense.
A lot of your colleges and associated do not agree with you everthing from Prof Vaknin to those who lived it to therapists. Basically everyone are talking about how these people never built a real self and have shame and blame at the core, stuck at toddler stage emotionally and mentally, how they build the false self and use others for "supply" like attention praise we have all kinds of negative feelings and thoughts and then the grandiosity, cannot be wrong ever the pride(bible,anyone) it is well known so .. that is, what i meant

I looked him up. He is not a psychotherapist.

In mental health no supernatural component has ever been established. It’s all psychological.

Yes. Many of my colleagues are religious of various faiths. But the thing they all have in common is that they leave their faith at home when they go to work.

I don`t say leave the faith in the practise, I am saying many therapists have encounters they cannot just brush off, including those priests mentioned that do have experience as therapists. I think it should be about giving the client the best examination not just one area. I lay weight on keeping an open mind, while working properly.

Only ones who insist on interpreting a presentation as a supernatural event in spite of long established non-supernatural causes. Looking for malevolent supernatural entities is not psychotherapy.

I have repeatedly commented valid sources that have experience enough, from psychatrist to exorcist with psychology and therapists encounter it. you choose to believe what you chose, but their experience speak for itself I should say as well,given a thorough examination by them

He said on an interview he was.
However, it does not negate everone`s experiences from therapists to Richard Gallagher who by the way knows the priest in question.
Lets hope you never encounter demons in your work. As that would be a problem then

I don`t think a priest and an exorcist would just go lie about it straight to everyones face like that. You should try contact Fr Rippberger about it
