Disorders of the Mind Can Be Caused By Traumatic Thought Life
By Dr. Caroline Leaf PhD and Dr. Martin W. Oliver Jr., PhD, BCPC
Hemet, California. Dr. Martin W. Oliver Jr., PhD, BCPC and Dr. Caroline Leaf PhD, Neuroscientist and Speech Pathologist are in agreement about how to transform human behavior. Dr. Leaf began researching the mind and the brain in South Africa and based on her findings, both during her studies and in her practice, she noticed that: “Mind-action is actually the predominant element in mental well-being.” Dr. Leaf pioneered mind-directed therapy that involved family and/or caregivers in the context of the patient’s life and needs. “The patient was highly involved in taking responsibility for their intervention and recovery” said Dr. Leaf. Mental ill-health is a thought disorder based in the mind, which changes the brain physiologically. The groundbreaking discoveries of neuroplasticity, (i.e. the brain can change) and neurogenesis (new nerve cells are continually produced) in the 1990s further supported Dr. Leaf and Dr. Oliver’s work, showing how the brain is a complex, living organ and not merely part of a biological machine.
A Short History of Mental Health Care
During the early 20th century, the prevailing concept in psychiatry was the demented mind. Asylums, largely state-run institutions where people with mental health issues were locked away or put into straightjackets were commonplace. Lobotomies (surgical incision into the frontal lobe of the brain to sever one or more nerve tracts) a technique formerly used to treat certain mental disorders, were performed up to the 1950s. From the 1930s to the 1950s the prevailing concept in psychiatry was the disordered mind. Psychoanalysis (making conscious the unconscious thoughts and motivations, thus gaining “insight”, to release repressed emotions and experiences, (i.e. make the unconscious conscious.), invented by Sigmund Freud, prevailed in the 1930s; psychotherapy, based on classical conditioning (Ivan Pavlov) and operant conditioning (a learning process in which behavior is sensitive to, or controlled by its consequences) (B. F. Skinner) prevailed in the 1940s, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (focuses on exploring relationships among a person's thoughts, feelings and behaviors) (CBT) has dominated the field since the 1950s.
The arrival of the first anti-psychotic (or neuroleptic) drugs in the mid-twentieth century marked a revolution in mental health care. There was a shift in mental health care from state-run asylums to the private sector as patients were able to be restrained by neuroleptics, which acted as “chemical straitjackets”. At first these medications were predominantly seen as “tranquilizers:” temporary measures to calm patients down in order to introduce more long-term treatments. In the 1970s-1980s, these drugs began to be seen as “chemical cures,” and the concept that mental disorders were the result of chemical imbalances started to take hold, despite the lack of physical evidence to support the chemical imbalance theory. SSRIs such as Prozac exploded into the public consciousness with the introduction of second generation neuroleptics in the 1990s.
In today’s scientific community, the prevailing concept that chemical imbalances form the basis mental illness is being challenged. Dr. David Anderson, a prominent geneticist involved in psychiatric research, has eloquently stated that the chemical imbalance concept promotes the erroneous idea that the brain consists of a “bag of chemical soup.” Taking drugs like Prozac have been shown to be ineffective in a great number of scientific articles. As Dr. Anderson notes, taking psychiatric drugs to “fix” mental health issues is like performing an oil change on a car by pouring oil all over the engine: it does more harm than good. In her ground-breaking book, The Myth of the Chemical Cure, Dr. Joanna Moncrieff, a prominent British psychiatrist at University College London, stated that psychiatric drugs actually create abnormal brain states instead of counteracting them, and that the concept of chemical imbalance rather reflects successful marketing by the dominant pharmaceutical industry. Indeed, a recent meta-analysis from Stanford University documenting 193 brain imaging studies on the whole-brain images of nearly 16,000 people turned the dominant brain disease model of psychiatry on its head. The study essentially found that the brains of people with different diagnoses such as schizophrenia, depression and addiction showed similar gray-matter loss. This finding challenges the disease model, which proposes that the different diagnoses have different brain pathologies. Even Dr. Tom Insel, a psychiatrist, the Director of the National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH) and a proponent of the disease model of mental health, has admitted to the failure of the present day paradigm of the chemical imbalance concept in successfully treating mental illness. His views were supported by Dr. Kenneth Kendler, one of the world’s foremost experts on chemical imbalances, who noted in 2005 that “we have hunted for big simple neurochemical explanations for psychiatric disorders and have not found them.”
Dr. Leaf continued: "It is obvious that the disease model of mental health, with its accompanying concept of chemical imbalance and drug use, is not succeeding, as we have more individuals suffering from mental health issues than ever before in human history. Although there has been a 400% increase in anti-depressant use alone since the 1990s, with a similar rise in the use of neuroleptics, more and more people are being locked away in mental health institutions and more and more adults and children are being put on dangerous, mind-altering substances. It is high time for a change"
Dr. Oliver’s research and clinical practice of 44 years and his groundbreaking discovery of the existence of software behavioral forces found in the human spirit that move through the soul (an internet highway to the brain) that transfer information, ideas, data, emotions, behavioral desires and negative tendencies directly to the brain (thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, hippo-campus and pituitary gland) with that chemically coded information moving not only to every cell in the body but also being recorded and stored in the DNA, provided the missing link to: “What Makes A Man, Woman and a Child Tick?” Now with a greater understanding of the universality of this cause and effect answer, people can now actively take part in not only their own health change but can in the truest sense of the word become the best they can be as humans. Dr. Oliver’s New Enlightenment Project© is appropriately named.
Dr. Oliver is the Founder of Dr. Oliver’s Consultations and The New Enlightenment Project ©2014 which is a 4 hour seminar solution to normal challenges that occur in business, government, education and families.
