When dealing with psychology you have to set yourself aside. You cannot tell people to do what you would have in their position. You have to analyze every angle of the situation and the individual. You cannot base their experience on other experiences because they are all different by at least one detail. I know what steps need to be taken to overcome drug dependency, abuse, and self esteem issues.
Abnormal Psychology
Who really has the right to say what is abnormal and what is not? Anyone can say what they "think" is abnormal, but they may be wrong. You have to consider age, religion, environment, genetics, and gender. Sacrificing people to most people is abnormal, but it is perfectly normal to the person doing the sacrificing.
