Emotional problems can overcome a person who has been reared in one value system and all of a sudden is thrown into a completely different value system. A high school graduate who was reared in a sound Christian environment enrolled in a large state university. Drinking, drugs, promiscuous sex and lewd dress were not only tolerated, they were encouraged. His whole value system was under attack. Under such circumstances a person may begin to doubt the validity of his original set of values. Questions arise such as, Can I justify the morals I was reared with? Who am I? Where am I going? If I need help, where will I get it? Does God want me? Does God know me? Where does God want me? How does God know I exist? What do I really believe? Suddenly his reasons for existence are not as clear as they used to be. A second source of emotional problems is fear. Fear of failure academically. Fear of rejection by his peers, or of not finding satisfying friendships. Fear may arise from the immense ... ...

288: What Early Christians believed about HUMAN FREEWILL
For neither would a man be worthy of reward or praise if he did not of himself choose the good, but was merely created for that end. Likewise, if a man were evil, he would not deserve punishment, since he was not evil of himself, being unable to do anything else than what he was made for." (Justin First Apology chap. 43) 185-255 AD Origen "He makes Himself known to those who, after doing all that their powers will allow, confess that they need help from Him." (Origen Against Celsus bk. 7, chap. 42) 190 AD Clement of Alexandria "A man by himself working and toiling at freedom from sinful desires achieves nothing. But if he plainly shows himself to be very eager and earnest about this, he attains it by the addition of the power of God. God works together with willing souls. But if the person abandons his eagerness, the spirit from God is also restrained. To save the unwilling is the act of one using compulsion; but to save the willing, that of one showing grace."

I do wish it would not relegate the "curing of souls" to psychiatry." (The Heart of Being Helpful, Peter Breggin, 1997 AD. p 65) "In psychiatry, the reverse attitude is almost always taken. If the person seeking help remains depressed or anxious despite the psychiatrist's best effort to provide psychotherapy, the psychiatrist will almost invariably recommend drugs. The assumption is that "talking therapy didn't work" rather than "my talking therapy wasn't helpful to this person." If several drugs fail to bring about improvement, the doctor may recommend hospitalization and shock treatment. Instead, the psychiatrist should have viewed himself or herself, rather than the other person, as the probable cause of the failure in therapy. The patient should have been directed toward someone else." (The Heart of Being Helpful, Peter Breggin, 1997 AD. p 80) By Steve Rudd: Contact the author for comments, input or corrections.
