D. Address question 9.

- Arcane rules kept Sterling from getting the help he was finally ready to receive. This is normative in mental health care. The codes and qualifications are often an impenetrable thicket. How do we deal with this?
- On page 6, about 3/4's of the way down, notice the term "survival services" at the church. What does this term mean to you, given the context of the chapter?
- Toward the top of page 7 he refers to the paucity of teaching about mental illness in the seminaries. This is also normative. How is it possible that this radically lost and alone population is considered irrelevant to the training of future clergy? Why is this?
