Is there a modern school of clinical psychology which respects astrology, and uses it in its practice?

FOR THOSE WHO ARE PERHAPS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE CONCEPT :smile:

It's a working theory with laws behind it. We need more of it in our society and workplace.

Took Psychology 1A in college. We played Behavioral mind games with lab rats, mostly. The "enabler" concept loomed large for me. But, how can you affect that, when the client is the one being enabled?

What has behaviorism have to do with the utility of astrology in clinical context though?

Well, the usual Modern is to blame Neptune and H12 for addiction problems. I would say it's more about Saturn's influence. Problem of course, is that you can find some example Charts that support a theory, in both Mod and Trad, and others that don't.

Even if astrology could help you diagnose someone with depression, how can it help you treat it? How about we leave each field to the specialists, prediction to the mathematician, cure to the physician.

One of things Modern astrology is known for, is the theory that once you know the astrological "reason" for a problem, you may be better able to deal with it. Also times when such a problem will be affected by transits, for better or for worse.
