Do They Understand That We Are One, Not Two?

This is a comment I left at the site: Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders, http://www.minddisorders.com/, by AdvaMeg, Inc. Addressing the need for more Spirituality in social science.

"I have been diagnosed with features of NPD. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of Spirituality in science. I love the work that they're doing, and understand that many psychologists are Christian. I think one thing that exacerbates the diagnosis of my problem to society ("Psychotherapy," 2nd par.) and clinicians is that in reality (by faith) I am one with my wife, not two anymore (Mark 10:8). Yet they continually treat me as an individual on my own. I think their view is exacerbated even further (sorry about the over-usage!) because most of my psychological systems are government-funded, not private - and privately funded - practices. They may have their own recommendations get nixed because of the funding source. So I'm trying to find treatment that doesn't turn me into an Obamite (socialist). I'm also in need of funding because my wife is an illegal alien (immigration is another one of my areas) with severe mental problems as well as me, so work has been very difficult. I'm trying to foster more communication in this area through my blog, if it would be helpful to anyone: http://mynarcissismjournal.blogspot.com"
