Overview
All healing is a process,
not always as neat as start [Diagnosis]
healing [Plan and Actions]
Cure.
We are always looking for the critical pathways for success,
But please keep in mind that our rapidly advancing knowledge in science,
will make us look primitive in the future.

so;
-diagnosis is changing , mutable, and cultural
-treatment planning is flexible, responsive and multivariate
-treatment itself is responsive to time, triage and environment
-cure is a culturally and corporately determined word
I am actually into healing and healthy lifestyles as goals.

Another thought is the conditions are;
- genetic 
-learned
-and environment

Finally,
most conditions present in severity;
due to;
- genetic inheritance
-learned behavior
-cultural context
-psychosocial stressors
-early parenting
 Read Kohut on mirroring and nurturing infants and Piaget
 on early childhood development, both of which I believe affects
 what we call personality disorders and other conditions.

Please keep this in mind as we explore healing on this site.
       Basically the plan is to give tools and support to a person to break old patterns
Think clearly, be healthy in mind and spirit and be effective in life and empowered.
For these skills I use alot of Marsha Linehan's process of treatment called DBT;
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy:
Dialectical behavioral therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
see Wikipedia for details, again a great resource.
    Now what are we doing here is talking about  forms
of treatment where we are intent on
getting a really good diagnosis, so we
can make a really good treatment plan and
start a treatment that is adaptable, flexible and works.
 The treatment planning thus has many variables in play sometimes
we even work back from the solution{effective treatment} to the question.
Of course to make it more interesting
let's make it clear that the answer is not always DBT
or it is that in combination with other
forms of healing,in fact the treatment doesn't have
to even use the same words,
one person's pain in the neck to one chiropractor 
can be an acupuncturist's blocked chi,
a good diagnosis simply to completely assess a person's
bio-psycho-social-sexual-legal-spiritual and existential situation,
in the moment and thru time and 
generations back on both sided of the family.
Using MD's, MD specialists,therapist's ,family therapists
social workers,learning and pain management specialists,
and so importantly the self reporting and goals.
Once all the info and opinions are evaluated,
we can start to match the multiple goals through time
to the person's safe goals.

the importance of this flexible approach is that
it is dynamic;
the results desired determine the approach
rather than a stale programmed model.
Thus we can be top down;
that is we can treat each most serious symptom as it appears,
or we can be bottom up;
and treat all conditioned brain and other systems in a basic
and strengthening way until progress in nueroplasticity
and all body systems are strengthened until treatment
requires a specific top down approach again.
one of the reasons I like practical cognitive work like DBT, 
and also diet and yoga and endocrinology,etc.
is the observable progress
as well as the idea that skills in one system don't generalize
but that all mind and body systems benefit from treatment
and can change dynamically
while being addressed and progressed
separately and as needed at the time.
This approach is especially successful when
coupled with inspirational channeling into creative enterprise
and improved personal and universal relationships,
thus our model goes beyond just disease
to eventually utilizing creative human potential.
Thus we can treat addiction, pain body injury and traumas
and other conditions,
as needed in the order that works for the person.
