The Cambridge Psychotherapy Institute. The Society of Natural Science was formally organized and incorporated by Peter Lawrence Gill Ph.D. , and several of his student-colleagues in 1985. Its creation was the natural, evolutionary consequence of Dr. Gill s clinical observations and thinking over a 30 year span in the practice of dynamic psychotherapy. We believe that all of these basic questions, plus their derivative issues, are properly within the realm of science despite the fact that some of the most important issues are not subject to experimental verification. For man must face up to these fundamental life issues, must take stands, must make decisions.
Science does it's best with the evidence at hand.
Conditions are such that the world is in desperate need of a new, vital, effective psychology. First, created by and for adults, the popular psychologies tend to white-wash the adult treatment of children, focusing instead on supposed genetic and physical causes for our ubiquitous neuroses. Second, the currently popular psychologies, timidly avoiding the controversial and inflammatory, refuse to deal with the larger issues of man's birth, death and place in the world. These two gross weaknesses render popular psychologies flaccid and significantly incompetent. The world needs a new, bold psychology, based on current scientific knowledge and research methodology, that can competently address current world problems.
