Psychomoralitics

G.C. Dilsaver is the developer of Psychomoralitics. Psychomoralitics is advanced to be not only a new and unique spiritual (or soul-based) alternative discipline to those of the mental health field, but the very remedy to the iatrogenic ills promulgated by the mental health profession and its disciplines. Psychomoralitics aims to "promote essential human well-being and remedy essential mal-being."

According to Dr. Dilsaver, Psychomoralitics is "purged of all erroneous mental health elements," thus being "a distillation" of his previous work Imago Dei Psychotherapy and is the further and full development of the essence of that Imago Dei conceptualization. Psychomoralitics holds that mental disorder is but a haphazard classification of symptomology that arises from essential mal-being.

Repudiation of the Mental Health Profession/System

G.C. Dilsaver is a graduate of an American Psychological Association accredited doctoral program and hospital internship. Early on in his career Dr. Dilsaver was deemed to be the "father of Christian psychology". and as per the Catholic University of America his seminal work "Imago Dei Psychotherapy (IDP) enunciated the foundational principles of the first fully integrated Christian psychotherapeutic conceptualization." During this early period. Dr. Dilsaver practiced in the mental health field and presenting professionally on the national (e.g., National Convention of the American Psychological Association) and local level (e.g., Philhaven Psychiatric Hospital). After nearly a decade as a practitioner within the mental health system Dr. Dilsaver formally and definitively repudiated (as have others) what he terms the "failed mental health profession" and the "mental health cabal."

Dr. Dilsaver charges that the mental health profession is not only erroneous in its conceptualization and a dismal failure in its efficacy, but is gravely harmful to the human spirit. Furthermore, Dr. Dilsaver claims that the mental health system (which he defines as the union of the State, the mental health profession, and the insurance and pharmaceutical industries under the total control of that State) is increasingly being used as a weapon to curtail sociopolitical freedom. As a response and counter-agent to what he deems to be the failed and harmful mental health profession, Dr. Dilsaver has developed Psychomoralitics.
