Each individual case of mental illness requires individually tailored care routines. In the case of McMurphy, maybe it would help some people and harm others. I've seen NHS psych units and care plans differ greatly. Basically I agree with Sass ^_^;
You mentioned the part where Billy slept with a woman and overcame his fear. There are basically two different ways that mental health specialists can approach this, and (as I mentioned above) it's not a case of right or wrong, only finding the right method for that particular individual. When someone has a phobia of any kind, you can either gradually introduce them to what they are afraid of or flood them with it (that is, according to modern psychiatry). It differs from person to person.
How ya doing, buddy?
