What kind of evidence would you look for to distinguish that theory from the theory that some people need a different kind of help than what they're getting?
I get what you're saying. I should say "people that seem to be damned to suffering". Of course it is possible if they got the right help that it would have a positive effect. In some cases though, although it might be possible, it is highly improbable. Have you ever read about Borderline personality disorder?
I have, yes.
