Research

For many years there has been an extensive scientific research into the field of PTSD, mainly in the United States.  Most of this research is statistical analysis of questionnaires.  There is very little fundamental scientific research to methods and means in improving the situation of the victims.  Our view is at the research is focusing on a  psychiatric problem, which is not necessarily a psychiatric problem.  Maybe PTSD shows itself as a psychiatric problem, but that does not mean that we should treat it as such.  Look at the following example.

Example: If we should treat the use of alcohol like PTSD, as a psychiatric problem, we could face the following: We observe behavioural changes after an adequate intake of alcohol. We will find psychiatrists on our path telling us that we should leave the drunken feeling by simply the power of our mind, talking about it will help to face and solve the problems. We should set up discussion groups to talk about the experiences of drunkenness, while we are drunk at that time. We should try to find medicine which can conquer drunkenness. The only thing we forget is to avoid alcohol and see how a person is, without drinking.

In our research we will use all possible means that can work to overcome PTSD. We will use, at the same time, a number of different approaches, which have proven to give results in similar situations.

In our research we will not pose any blockades. This is not the time and the moment for theoretical discussions before we have seen any results. This means that we will take in account anything, as long as it is harmless. The scientific discussion about a theory behind it all is not relevant at this moment. When the results of the tests are known we can see what a theory behind it could be. The setup of the research is based on statements you can find in the Organon.
