165 PSYCHIATRY
"There is nothing in our teachings about Freud and his
method. Psychiatry treatment in general is no doubt an important
contribution to medicine, but we must believe it is still a
growing rather than a perfected science. As Bahá'u'lláh has
urged us to avail ourselves of the help of good physicians Bahá'ís
are certainly not only free to turn to psychiatry for assistance
but should, when available, do so. This does not mean psychiatrists
are always wise or always right; it means we are free to
avail ourselves of the best medicine has to offer us."
