165: PSYCHIATRY

"There is nothing in our teachings about Freud and his method. Psychiatry

treatment in general is no doubt an important contribution to medicine,

but we must believe it is still a growing rather than a perfected science.

As Baha'u'llah has urged us to avail ourselves of the help of good

physicians Baha'is are certainly not only free to turn to psychiatry for

assistance but should, when available, do so. This does not mean

psychiatrists are always wise or always right; it means we are free to

avail ourselves of the best medicine has to offer us."
