When I took intro to psych 20+ years ago, the professor pointed out that each branch of psychology had a 12% cure rate. He also said hugging therapy had a 12% cure rate. I pointed out that this probably meant that 12% get better on their own. He was offended. I was given a B even though I had scores for an A.

Here's a question --- First, how do you define sick ? How is one then considered CURED ?

When my wife is angry at me because things at home aren't going right, she would say that I am psychologically unbalanced. A few days later when things around us are hunky dory, she would forget what she said and I am now a balanced person. Who really is sick here ? Was there a sickness in the first place?
