Is a Psychiatrist Better Than a Guru?

I think that this conversation is precisely the question of model. I mean, when a psychiatrist sits behind his desk, he's got a particular model. And if you talk about enlightenment or being a guru, that likewise is a particularmodel. The question is, do you reject one model in favor of a veteran? That's still horizontal. It just seems to me that the training I received as a Western psychologist left me in a position where I was not open as a student,. really, to keep doing the work on myself.
