'The chronic patiënt', dealing with a treatment
1 — The dysharmony between intellect (neo-cortex) and emotion (allo-cortex) should be recognized as a natural phase in the development of the human brain. Only in a restricted number of cases in this dysharmony based on psychiatric pathology.
2 — The malfunction of society follows partially from the incomplete integration of the individual neo- and allo-cortex. In this way society inhibits secundarily the optimal development of the individual.
3 — Psychiatry has through a history of rational positivism, unjustly been condemned to the treatment of the whole range of emotional disturbances in man.
4 — The integration of reason and emotion should be promoted through education and training and through the creation of a society which has a tolerant attitude towards deviant behaviour and uncommon interactions.
5 — Psychiatry should, more than it has until now, take distance from education and training end must devote her energy to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of psychiatrie pathology. Psychiatry can also help teaching society about the emotional processes that occur in people.
6 — Psychiatry must strongly promote 'dépatientization' of chronic patients. Just as strongly must psychiatry 'patientizise' those who are chronically unhappy and who have a treatable illness.
