Everything about : RH Bill ( Reproductive Health Bill)

[lostbutfound]

im not saying we need to abandon religion. not all religions are against this bill. religion is just religion. sad thing is, some priests who are inexperienced when it comes to raising families, and practice "celibacy" are blabbing words that are not all true.

increase in teenage pregnancies has nothing to do with the RH Bill. i still believe that it is the parent's responsibility to check on their children, talk to them and guide them all throughout. and it isn't stated in the law that even minors have free access to these contraceptives.

increase in HIV cases.... are we really sure that those who got infected got it through ***? there are a lot of ways where HIV can be transmitted.

yeah right they won the nobel prize but still i won't buy their studies. mainly because their studies are limited to their area. i will only honor a study that has been made that covers the world. this isn't science that we can just debunk their studies. unsa ni conspiracy theory? lol this is about values. each one of us have different values because it depends on how we are raised and the environment where we grew up.

since this is not science, you cant just tell us our opinions are wrong. whoever is right or wrong, that can only be determined once the bill is passed.

anti RH bill advocates may celebrate once the bill is trashed but it's not gonna be something that pro-RH Bill advocates would whine about. duh! whether the bill is passed or not, contraceptives can be bought without prescription and those who can afford can continue using it. i just hope that if this bill will be trashed, you, anti-RH Bill advocates will also take time to go out there and feed the poor. you're just like those priests who say nasty things about our stand but are never or seldom seen helping people. cheers to that!

I am for a bigger population. Our best resource and export is and always will be manpower. Too bad we have a none competitive minimum wage and overly protectionist economic and labor policies.

I agree, Population do play a role in economic growth but unfortunately we do had bad economic policies particularly to foreign investment. Thats why i said before, we should first initiate a real economic reform.. GO for CHaCHa before even trying to curb population and No, RH bill will not curb our population unless they made it clear of that ideal number of children is 2. Going back, if you look at the US and Japan both had bigger population than us and yet they keep attracting migrant workers cause they too consider it as a resource and there are many other countries which is which is willing to accept migrant workers. In which Filipinos had benefit from, in fact there are 10Million+ pinoys abroad providing remittances to their family giving Philippines a unique economy. Pinoy can choose not to live through hardships here with our not so good economy. The things is the government should ensure/guarantee lol that our level of education and /or technical trainings must be on the highest standard or at least a modest one to give our fellow pinoy a better opportunities working abroad. Yes i know thats a hard commitment to give, knowing our govt had failed us for so many times hehe. People are just way to optimistic about this RH bill, the fact will still remain that this venture is bound to failed just like the many other govt services around ; the RH funding can be misappropriated like what Sen. Sotto is exposing right now concerning RH supplies which had not been delivered; and im sure corruption will also kicks in in many forms and many other problems esp those consequences im telling people here.
On the other hand, we dont have to go all he way to OFW remittance style to pump our economy, If you look at China and India which had billion of poulation but yet they have a big economy not necessarily their people had better lives btw. The more people the country had the more taxes can be collected and in turn the more govt services can be delivered. But whats wrong with this country is, that we dont have a good economic policies compared to India and China, both are reaping reaping in foreign investment. But here our foreign investment policies sucks, that 1987 constitution need s to be change. The last time i check we are rank 70th+ in foreign investment appeal. Imagine foreign companies/investors need to have a local partner just to enter here; they will also have to go through our corrupt bureaucracy;; they cant owned lands; they will have to live through
high expenses like wages, electricity, taxes, contraceptives (if RH pass lol); we also have poor infrastructures; mtm in short we are not that appealing to them. And this foreign investors can bring in jobs, providing a means for many Filipinos to get through their lives. For example a foreign real estate contruction companies operating here can provide more infrastructure & job opportunities etc and even price of their rea estate may be cheaper than those local companies / or at least it will make the market competitive. In the long run more foreign investment can benefit the countries. At present the rich/oligarchs does not provide that many jobs and some even choose to buy/invest on other countries like thy buy houses abroad, if they buy or reinvest here more money can be pump to the country. The rich will only get richer and the poor will have to suffer, we had been duped for a long time, that ChaCha video posted in this forum section thats is the reality.

In short lol we cant keep providing billions of RH services year on year while the cheaper way is to open up our economy through CHaCHa

[Romeojin]

pro Rh here...a matter of choice ra jud na...if di ka ganahan artificial then ayaw?, just give the people freedom to choose...

No one constricting anyones choice even without RH, there are contraceptives available and no law prohibiting the use of it unless its abortifacient in nature.

The point of my resistance without religious biased is that the bill had many flaws - i had enumerated a lot of it. The most honest way in supporting the RH bill is that it helps the poor except the pro life poor lol, si miyay lang dire consistent to that.

How many of people here reluctant to have your taxes to go through personal practices? We are not a welfare state, we dont have budget for everything with our bad economic policies and corruption.

you should quit talking about religion, or stop linking that anti religion site into this forum. Its clear you had grudge with the church and the priests et al. No im not a priest or in any way connected to the church or any religion for that matter. My anti-RH stand are mostly non religious biased the fact is i even based some my data on a research/study done by an antagonist and an atheist. And me too im not that religious, the bill had many flaws to say no is just being blind. Please read and understand the bill.

FYI, Its a bill not yet a law ! and yes adolescent will be given RH rights.
consolidated reproductive health bill full text – House Bill RH 4244 « The 2010 Presidentiables Blog – the aquino administration, 2010 to 2016

SEC. 2. – Declaration of Policy. – The State recognizes and guarantees the 4 exercise of the universal basic human right to reproductive health by all persons,
5 particularly of parents, couples and women, consistent with their religious convictions,
6 cultural beliefs and the demands of responsible parenthood. Toward this end, there
7 shall be no discrimination against any person on grounds such as ***, age, religion,
8 sexual orientation, disabilities, political affiliation and ethnicity.

---

Reproductive Health Care refers to the access to a full range of methods, 5 facilities, services and supplies that contribute to reproductive health and well-being by
6 preventing and solving reproductive health-related problems. It also includes sexual
7 health, the purpose of which is the enhancement of life and personal relations. The
8 elements of reproductive health care include:
9 (1) family planning information and services;
10 (2) maternal, infant and child health and nutrition, including breastfeeding;
11 (3) proscription of abortion and management of abortion complications;
12 (4) adolescent and youth reproductive health;
----

(b) Respect for, protection and fulfillment of reproductive
1 health and rights
2 seek to promote the rights and welfare of couples, adult individuals, women and
3 adolescents;


----


Adolescence refers to the period of physical and physiological
1 development of
2 an individual from the onset of puberty to complete growth and maturity which usually
3 begins between 11 to 13 years and terminating at 18 to 20 years of age;

---

The State likewise guarantees universal access to medically-safe, legal, 16 affordable, effective and quality reproductive health care services, methods, devices,
17 supplies and relevant information and education thereon even as it prioritizes the needs
18 of women and children, among other underprivileged sectors.
19 The State shall eradicate discriminatory practices, laws and policies that infringe
20 on a person’s exercise of reproductive health rights.

this is already stated even politician are saying about it. This is not open for debate.. accept it its part of the bill. No genuine Pro RH will deny it, if you are against contraceptives for adolescent then dont support the bill.

Once the bill is passed and you dont agree giving away contraceptives to adolescent, theres nothing you can do other than to pay fines or take jail time if you prohibit any of your children access to contraceptives. Thats why im asking people here to fully scrutinized the bill before accepting it. Believe me there are other flaws as well that needs to be iron out, and yes im open to revision of the bill !

And please debunked those data rather than ignore it dont be irrational.

If the bill passed and people who voted yes on it will gonna cry cause they didnt see the flaws ! Like you said stop misinforming people. RH bill is giving away RH rights to all.

im a good friend but a bad enemy. if unahan ako mobawi gyud ko. I will play to any level. ingnan ko i had "reading comprehension problem" mobawi pud ko. mo troll sila mo troll pud ko.

Keep the discussion healthy, please stop dwelling into religion topic.
I will be busy for a few days kaya overtime ko ron lol.

[messy_meh]

i will post some points here, you may agree or disagree but since we do have different opinions, just respect ours..

SEC. 5. Midwives for Skilled Attendance

The Local Government Units (LGUs) with the assistance of the Department of Health (DOH), shall employ an adequate number of midwives to achieve a minimum ratio of one (1) fulltime skilled birth attendant for every one hundred fifty (150) deliveries per year, to be based on the annual number of actual deliveries or live births for the past two years; Provided, That people in geographically isolated and depressed areas shall be provided the same level of access.

--- Depending on the classification of the city or municipality, DOH must identify which of these places must be given their assistance wherein they have budget constraints in hiring a fulltime midwife, it is also a question whether this midwife assigned to a place will have the transportation and fuel subsidy from the LGU or from the DOH to be able to serve the people in isolated and far-flung barangays.

SEC. 6. Emergency Obstetric Care

Each province and city, with the assistance of the DOH, shall establish or upgrade hospitals with adequate and qualified personnel, equipment and supplies to be able to provide emergency obstetric care. For every 500,000 population, there shall be at least one (1) hospital with comprehensive emergency obstetric care and four (4) hospitals or other health facilities with basic emergency obstetric care; Provided, That people in geographically isolated and depressed areas shall be provided the same level of access.

--- Cebu will be a model for this provision. Without the assistance of the DOH and the National Government, the Provincial Government established two more Provincial Hospitals and upgraded all the existing District Hospitals from Primary to Secondary Hospitals, hiring more medical personnel and increasing the bed capacity. Our dynamic Governor did this using only the Province's own funds. But how about the rest of the Philippines? It also needs upgrading and it needs the support of the National Government. By stating this as part of the RH Bill, lawmakers should allocate billions of pesos to build and upgrade all the District and Provincial Hospitals all over the country, hire more medical practitioners and purchase thousands of ambulances so that this Bill will be successful.

SEC. 7. Access to Family Planning

All accredited health facilities shall provide a full range of modern family planning methods, except in specialty hospitals which may render such services on optional basis. For poor patients, such services shall be fully covered by PhilHealth Insurance and/or government financial assistance on a no balance billing.

After the use of any PhilHealth benefit involving childbirth and all other pregnancy-related services, if the beneficiary wishes to space or prevent her next pregnancy, PhilHealth shall pay for the full cost of family planning.

--- The underprivileged families have been given PhilHealth cards since the PGMA Administration. What the government now will do is to continue distributing these to those who were not given the cards and give them adequate service when they avail of it. Sounds impossible, right?

SEC. 8. Maternal and Newborn Health Care in Crisis Situations

Local government units and the Department of Health shall ensure that a Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for reproductive health, including maternal and neonatal health care kits and services as defined by the DOH, will be given proper attention in crisis situations such as disasters and humanitarian crises. MISP shall become part of all responses by national agencies at the onset of crisis and emergencies.

Temporary facilities such as evacuation centers and refugee camps shall be equipped to respond to the special needs in the following situations: normal and complicated deliveries, pregnancy complications, miscarriage and post-abortion complications, spread of HIV/AIDS and STIs, and sexual and gender-based violence.

--- Another too good to be true. This involves billions of pesos to supply these medicines, contraceptives and the like. Corruption will now be in this part. We all know the procurement process in this country is so DIRTY.

SEC. 9. Maternal Death Review

All Local Government Units (LGUs), national and local government hospitals, and other public health units shall conduct annual maternal death review in accordance with the guidelines set by the DOH.

--- NO OBJECTIONS..

SEC. 10. Family Planning Supplies as Essential Medicines

Products and supplies for modern family planning methods shall be part of the National Drug Formulary and the same shall be included in the regular purchase of essential medicines and supplies of all national and local hospitals and other government health units.

--- My question is: How big is the budget of the DOH in buying medicines? Adding the procurement of contraceptives, it will be impossible to attain this given the fact that the present budget for the DOH is not even enough to cover the whole country. Well other rich cities and provinces can afford this but I think slashing the budget of the AFP and the Intel Funds of the Office of the President will be sufficient to fund these. (In your Dreams!)

SEC. 11. Procurement and Distribution of Family Planning Supplies

The DOH shall spearhead the efficient procurement, distribution to Local Government Units (LGUs) and usage-monitoring of family planning supplies for the whole country. The DOH shall coordinate with all appropriate LGUs to plan and implement this procurement and distribution program. The supply and budget allotments shall be based on, among others, the current levels and projections of the following:

“(a) number of women of reproductive age and couples who want to space or limit their children;

“(b) contraceptive prevalence rate, by type of method used; and

“(c) Cost of family planning supplies.

--- The DOH will be devoting so much time for this (NO REST DAYS! hahaha)

SEC. 12. Integration of Family Planning and Responsible Parenthood Component in Anti-Poverty Programs

A multi-dimensional approach shall be adopted in the implementation of policies and programs to fight poverty. Towards this end, the DOH shall endeavor to integrate a family planning and responsible parenthood component into all anti-poverty programs of government, with corresponding fund support. The DOH shall provide such programs technical support, including capacity-building and monitoring.

--- HOW? IN WHAT WAY? this is too broad much like the statements of the president. Please state the multi-dimensional approaches to fight poverty. O baka naman magsusuot lang kayo ng Yellow Gloves to fight poverty.

SEC. 13. Roles of Local Government in Family Planning Programs

The LGUs shall ensure that poor families receive preferential access to services, commodities and programs for family planning. The role of Population Officers at municipal, city and barangay levels in the family planning effort shall be strengthened. The Barangay Health Workers and Volunteers shall be capacitated to help implement this Act.

--- This section will be attained if the government will provide good salaries for Barangay Health Workers not just HONORARIUM.

SEC. 14. Benefits for Serious and Life-Threatening Reproductive Health Conditions

All serious and life threatening reproductive health conditions such as HIV and AIDS, breast and reproductive tract cancers, obstetric complications, menopausal and post-menopausal related conditions shall be given the maximum benefits as provided by PhilHealth programs.

--- NO OBJECTIONS..

SEC. 15. Mobile Health Care Service

Each Congressional District may be provided with at least one (1) Mobile Health Care Service (MHCS) in the form of a van or other means of transportation appropriate to coastal or mountainous areas, the procurement and operation of which shall be funded by the National Government. The MHCS shall deliver health care supplies and services to constituents, more particularly to the poor and needy, and shall be used to disseminate knowledge and information on reproductive health. [The purchase of the MHCS shall be funded from the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) of each Congressional District.] The operation and maintenance of the MHCS shall be operated by skilled health providers adequately equipped with an equipment, the latter including, but not limited to, a television set for audio-visual presentations. All MHCS shall be operated by a focal city or municipality within a congressional district.

--- How can we attain this when Politics is involved in distributing PDAF's? We all know that once a representative is critical of the President, They will be given ZERO Pork Barrels. Sorry to say that this is not attainable with the present political situation in our country.

-------------------------------------------------------------

These are some of the sections of the RH Bill that made me decide that I AM AGAINST IT. It is just too good to be true. Sorry guys but if you insist on your judgements, try to answer these issues with utmost accuracy so that you will convince me to support the RH Bill. As I have stated again and again, I don't share the Catholic Church's stand against RH Bill. My analysis is plain and simple. This is just a piece of legislation carved out of DREAMS.. Dreams that are hindered by the present bad habit in our society and in our form of government. Thank you for reading..

SEC. 16. Mandatory Age-Appropriate Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education

Age-appropriate Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education shall be taught by adequately trained teachers in formal and non-formal educational system starting from Grade Five up to Fourth Year High School using life-skills and other approaches. Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education shall commence at the start of the school year immediately following one (1) year from the effectivity of this Act to allow the training of concerned teachers. The Department of Education (DepEd), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and the Department of Health (DOH) shall formulate the Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education curriculum. Such curriculum shall be common to both public and private schools, out of school youth, and enrollees in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) based on, but not limited to, the following, the psycho-social and the physical wellbeing, the demography and reproductive health, and the legal aspects of reproductive health.

Age-appropriate reproductive health and sexuality education shall be integrated in all relevant subjects and shall include, but not limited to, the following topics:
“(a) Values formation;

“(b) Knowledge and skills in self protection against discrimination, sexual violence and abuse, and teen pregnancy;

“(c) Physical, social and emotional changes in adolescents;

“(d) Children’s and women’s rights;

“(e) Fertility awareness;

“(f) STI, HIV and AIDS;

“(g) Population and development;

“(h) Responsible relationship;

“(i) Family planning methods;

‘(j) Proscription and hazards of abortion;

“(k) Gender and development; and

“(l) Responsible parenthood.
The DepEd, CHED, DSWD, TESDA, and DOH shall provide concerned parents with adequate and relevant scientific materials on the age-appropriate topics and manner of teaching reproductive health education to their children.

Parents shall exercise the option of not allowing their minor children to attend classes pertaining to Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education.

---- *** Education? No Problem. I support that. But why Grade 5? My God, that's too early. Better start from 1st year High School. Why not include the parents? They are currently the one's who has the capacity to make babies. Don't just concentrate on the youth. The negative side of this: It will expose the younger generation to use contraceptives in pursuit of their curiosity for *** that are taught in schools. With the availability of contraceptives, Premarital *** in the younger generations will definitely increase. Unwanted pregnancies will decrease but the moral standards with the youth will be lost for sure.

SEC. 17. Additional Duty of the Local Population Officer

Each Local Population Officer of every city and municipality shall furnish free instructions and information on family planning, responsible parenthood, breastfeeding, infant nutrition and other relevant aspects of this Act to all applicants for marriage license. In the absence of a local Population Officer, a Family Planning Officer under the Local Health Office shall discharge the additional duty of the Population Officer.

--- NO OBJECTIONS..

SEC. 18. Certificate of Compliance

No marriage license shall be issued by the Local Civil Registrar unless the applicants present a Certificate of Compliance issued for free by the local Family Planning Office certifying that they had duly received adequate instructions and information on family planning, responsible parenthood, breastfeeding and infant nutrition.

--- not just instructions. It is should be included in Pre-Nuptial Seminars.

SEC. 19. Capability Building of Barangay Health Workers

Barangay Health Workers and other community-based health workers shall undergo training on the promotion of reproductive health and shall receive at least 10% increase in honoraria, upon successful completion of training. The amount necessary for the increase in honoraria shall be charged against the Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) component of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program of the DSWD. In the event the CCT is phased out, the funding sources shall be charged against the Gender and Development (GAD) budget or the development fund component of the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA).

--- DOH must elaborate on these. Barangay Health Workers will now play a vital part on the success of this Bill. BHW's are the frontline implementors of the RH Bill. Now, in the event when the CCT is phased out, can the DOH order the LGU's to allocate funds for the increase of the salaries of BHW's? can they certify it as very urgent in every Budget Appropriation of the LGU's annually?

SEC. 20. Pro Bono Services for Indigent Women

Private and non-government reproductive health care service providers, including but not limited to gynecologists and obstetricians, are mandated to provide at least 48 hours annually of reproductive health services ranging from providing information and education, to rendering medical services free of charge to indigent and low income patients, especially to pregnant adolescents. These 48 hours annual pro bono services shall be included as prerequisite in the accreditation under the PhilHealth.

“(d) providing continuing education and inclusion rights of persons with disabilities among health-care providers; and

“(e) undertaking activities to raise awareness and address misconceptions among the general public on the stigma and their lack of knowledge on the sexual and reproductive health needs and rights of persons with disabilities.
--- NO OBJECTIONS..

SEC. 22. Right to Reproductive Health Care Information

The government shall guarantee the right of any person to provide or receive non-fraudulent information about the availability of reproductive health care services, including family planning, and prenatal care.

The DOH and the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) shall initiate and sustain a heightened nationwide multi-media campaign to raise the level of public awareness of the protection and promotion of reproductive health and rights including family planning and population and development.

--- Television and Radio are the best media tools to spread the information on Reproductive Health. Budget allocations na naman ito. hahaha

SEC. 23. Implementing Mechanisms

Pursuant to the herein declared policy, the DOH and the Local Health Units in cities and municipalities shall serve as the lead agencies for the implementation of this Act and shall integrate in their regular operations the following functions:
“(a) Ensure full and efficient implementation of the Reproductive Health Care Program;

“(h) Furnish local government units with appropriate information and resources to keep them updated on current studies and researches relating to family planning, responsible parenthood, breastfeeding and infant nutrition; and

“(i) Perform such other functions necessary to attain the purposes of this Act.
The Population Commission, (POPCOM) as an attached agency of DOH, shall serve as the coordinating body in the implementation of this Act and shall have the following functions:
“(a) Integrate on a continuing basis the interrelated reproductive health and population development agenda consistent with the herein declared national policy, taking into account regional and local concerns;

“(b) Provide the mechanism to ensure active and full participation of the private sector and the citizenry through their organizations in the planning and implementation of reproductive health care and population and development programs and projects; and

“(c) Conduct sustained and effective information drives on sustainable human development and on all methods of family planning to prevent unintended, unplanned and mistimed pregnancies.

--- It can only be attained if we already have functioning Barangay Health Centers and Health Workers complete with facilities in every Barangay throughout the Country. Can this be attained? Think of it, can the Barangay's and Towns under control of terrorists and insurgents do these? NO. it is still a dream. Address the problem on insurgency and Terrorism first before the people can reap the benefits of the RH Bill.

Sections 24 - 33 already talk about the implementing rules and regulations, agencies assigned, penalties, appropriations and others. I need not to analyze it as it is already mandated by Law to have these.

---------------------------------------------------------

I hope I have already stated my case against the RH Bill. It is an uphill climb. I can only support this Bill if the requisites I have said in every Section that I have commented will be addressed. It is not only based on Church Laws that every citizen has a right NOT to support the RH Bill. I respect each and everyone's opinion on this issue. Thank you very much and Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

i click lang gyud ang mga links oi. naa year ana lol. decrease gyud compare sa Pinas

So if i give you condom you wont have *** anymore lol, that gun analogy doesnt fit on this lol. Hinuon you said ma aware na about PMS ang mga teens with RH bill lol so di na sila mag ***

PMS is rampant nowadays like you said, with RH bill it wont be anymore? cause logically more contraceptives means more ***.. PMS will rise as what the case in the US. You teach student how to use contraceptives and you give them rights to ask contraceptives through RH bill it will not lead to more ***. igo na lang mangayo ug condom lol wa na hinuon ug ***. Di man gani maminaw sa Church ug sa parents about PMS, maminaw sila with RH bill wa man gani ka nituman sa NO PMS lol.

Pirmi nimo tudluan ug *** ed imong anak, mahimo gyud na Ger|2WArrior Jr. Sure ka naa ka anak? ok ra nimo tudluan ug *** ed ug matagaan ug contraceptives if they feel it lol hehehe

Understand your point g e r mo low mo jin..... gun analogy is the same, the point i want to say is how to use it..... 6 education doesn't mean teaching our children to have s-x , but to be aware on unprotected ***, aware of our own body, reminding them the consequences of unwanted pregnancies and the danger of many babies...., no matter what you say to not to have *** to them, they wuill sill pursue it. Klaro ka wa kay anak, di ka pa kasado.. kay ibahin mo ang meaning... hahahahahaha single fool doesn't understand how to handle a family.. that is you ge r low mo gin....... low ang imong moejoe hahahahahahahahahahah


kasi imong huna huna ing ani: s - x = intercourse ; education = learning..... kaya sinabi ko na isa kang malaking T - A - N - G - A na tao.. gibahin bahin mo ang meaning....... s-x education does not teach our children to have s-x T-A-N-G-A..... watching porn does...... s-x education teaches us to be more aware of our body....

THEN if you don't want others to be aware, or how will help to increase or make our economics better (because change always start in us) ayaw pag asa masiyado sa gobyerno.....

AND HOW WILL YOU STOP PMS?? HOW WILL YOU LOWER THE SPREAD OF STI and other deadly s-xual related diseases? if you don't want RH BILL to be passed....

prevention is better than cure...... remember our resources are not infinite......

[em_b]

tag-asa na sa post uy. hehehehehe.

well base in your posts, clearly, you have different ways of understanding *** education. i don't even think you have the same take off point. i mean, as to what will be the substance of *** education. always, pessimist almost often thinks of the negative. but personally, i believe this will work.

we all know how to kill a person. we all know how to hack one to death. we have all the available knives to do that. warrior and romejin both have the capacity to kill each other, they know how to do that, but they both know the consequences, that they shouldn't. i think thats the same with RH Bill. knowing something how to do it does not mean you will do it. Freud's name came up a lot of time, and maybe most of you are familiar with psychoanalytic theory. please do not underestimate the power to think.
