Gillean Psychotherapy has been developed over a period of more than 40 years. Psychotherapy is good research into the realities of life in general and into the realities of the student's (patient's) life in particular. People are unique and complicated. Any psychotherapy that offers recipes oversimplifies and confuses rather than clarifies our understanding. Deep psychotherapy involves the therapist encouraging the student to consider and eventually incorporate new beliefs. Deep psychotherapy is a slow process involving much repetition but is the only way to achieve lasting change. No one has perfect health; everyone has some illness, mental and physical. There are no bad people, only good and bad behaviors. Our personality is learned. The quality of life is more important than the quantity. The purpose of life is to enjoy, not to engage in self-sacrifice. No person is self-made or self-programmed to be neurotic. Most of the unhappiness in the world is not due to genetic, chemical, traumatic, or infectious causes.
Our psychological defects are induced chiefly by the adults of our childhood, our basic teachers/programmers.
