The Doctor Inside of Us

Albert Schweitzer wrote, “Each patient carries his own doctor inside him…..We are at our best (as psychologists) when we give the doctor who resides within each patient a chance to go to work.”  

Healing

"The medicine is already within the pain and suffering.  You just have to look deeply and quietly.  Then you realize it has been there the whole time."         ---saying form Native North American Oral Tradition

For many school age children assessment has left the opportunity of healing behind.  Diagnostic tools and reports have provided labels but missed the opportunity of healing.  The possibility of discovering the miracle within the student; the ability to grow, to understand self and to find the beauty that is within every child.  School systems would do well to involve psychologists in therapy as well as diagnostics.   TJS
