EPILOGUE

COMPREHENSION of a problem is often indispensable to its solution. In the scientific discourse, the explanation of the disease is evacuated in favour of a description, the complexity of which excludes the profane. He is the one though who undergoes the hypermediated fallouts, with, as a consequence, the multiplication of conflicts, through vicious circle and iatrogenous impact. In the new approach, comprehension is of prime importance: it is built on mutual exchange and ties the patient up with his natural survival instinct again. HUMAN RELATION is, in principle, inherent to the art of curing. But is it possible to speak of vocation when ordering examinations, the synthetic lecture of their results and the consecutive prescription of drugs? The culture is so well anchored that the patient himself asks for the diagnosis and the treatment. But with which hope for curing if this demand – and the hurried medical response – implies blindness on the origin of his suffering? In the new approach, the individual will have understood that the disease is due to a conflict, and he will ask for the help of another human being rather than of a machine. Technique at the service of man, demystification of a hidden knowledge, respectuous partition of mutual knowledge, relation to help curing oneself, absence of idle panic, liberty of reflection and of choice … there is some reason to fear a collapse of the tower of Babel. A question remains for all of the diseased: is it worth trying if it is meant to help re-appropriate health? |
