I was reading the book "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Dr. Vincent Norman Peale. When I came to page 192, this is what I read: "I sat at a table with nine other men, one of them a physician who had recently been discharged from military service and had resumed his civilian practise. He said, 'Upon my return from the army, I noticed a change in my patients' troubles. I found that a high percentage do not need medicine but better thought patterns. They are not sick in their bodies as much as they are sick in their thoughts and emotions. They are all mixed up with fear thoughts, inferiority feelings, guilt, and resentment. I found that in treating them I needed to be as much a psychiatrist as a physician, and then I discovered that not even those therapies helped me fully to do my job. I became aware that in many cases the basic trouble with people was spiritual. So I found myself frequently quoting the Bible to them. Then I fell into the habit of 'prescribing religious and inspirational books, especially those that give guidance on how to live.' Directing his statement to me, he said: 'It's about time you ministers began to realise that in the healing of many people you, too, have a function to perform. Of course, you are not going to overlap on the work of the physician any more than we shall intrude on your function, but we doctors need the cooperation of ministers in helping people find health and well-being.'"
