Simple Act of Talking to Others
Often an Aid to Troubled People
Troubled people who are actually
helped through the simple act of talking
to other human beings own the greatest
capability for being successfully treated,
according to Dr. Charles Schober, the
featured speaker for this week's meeting
of the Clinical Pastoral Training Pro-gram.
Schober, a graduate of Louisiana
State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge
and the LSU School of Medicine in New
Orleans, is head of the department of
psychiatry at the LSU School of Medicine
in S h r e v e p o r t . He was trained at
Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia
and is a former associate professor of
psychiatry at the University of Pennsyl-vania.
He was lecturing on the subject of
psychotherapy when he spoke about the
ability of certain persons to respond to
treatment.
Psychological problems are especially
hard to uncover in c h i l d r e n and
said that children are many times unable
to translate their feelings into language
which adults can understand and that
adolescents are often reluctant to ex-press
themselves to older people because
they are distrustful of them.
He supported the theory that psycho-logical
problems can often lead to
physical illness. He added that a
phenomenon known as resistance often
hinders the process of uncovering these
problems whether or not they actually
become associated with physical ail-ments.
He defined resistance as a force
within people which works to hide the
source of trouble.
Schober said one means of combating
this situation involves talking to a person
and then feeding the information which
he has revealed back to him.
"Psychotherapy applies to the act of
talking and is one of the oldest forms of
treatment known to man," he said.
He added that many times a person
will subconsciously apply feelings and
attitudes to people or things in his
present life which were actually formed
and aimed at other targets much earlier
in life. W i t h o u t knowing Why, he
establishes preconceived ideas as fact by
means of a mental process known as
transference.
In regard to hypnotherapy, Schober
said that Freud found as many as 40 per
cent of his patients responded to such
treatment, but that a lasting effect was
not produced. He also said that it was a
very interesting field because it provides
an observation of an altered state of
consciousness.
"Hypnotherapy has always been in or
out of repute," he added, "but it will
probably always have its place in the
treatment of some individuals."
