Medical Breakthrough
A breakthrough in psychiatry attributed in part to Jose Silva's techniques for creative thinking

     September, 1969, I took my first Silva class – spurred on by the guarantee of Clairvoyance or a full money-back guarantee. The experience was exhilarating. No one asked for a refund. Skeptics like myself seemed particularly impressed.
     The timing was just right. I had completed formal academic training, including adult and child psychiatry residency programs and adult and child psychoanalytic training courses. This left me free to study my patients and to apply methods of creative thinking as taught in the Silva course.
     Looking back, I recognize four ingredients that were vital components for the discovery of totally new concepts in the field: The first is the thorough background and formal training received at the Menninger School of Psychiatry, the Philadelphia Psychiatric Center and the Philadelphia Psychoanalytic Institute. The second is separating from that body of knowledge for a period of time. You cannot see a cloud when you are in it; you must first separate to catch its outline and see beyond.
      The third vital ingredient is creative thinking – which was taught by Jose Silva. The fourth ingredient is love. All efforts at deciphering cause, mechanisms and treatment for serious disorders were propelled strictly out of a sincere desire to help my patients. It is this propelling force that provides the energy, the clarity and the insights for healing. Jose Silva's course utilizes the same love energy for psychic diagnosis: Each trainee pictures the patient for the purpose of trying to help that individual, and according to Mr. Silva, it is largely because of this intended purpose that the trainee is able to do so much. As soon as the trainee begins thinking  look what I can do,” it is gone! It then is necessary to change that thinking to  let me find out what is wrong with this person and what I can do to help.” With that, the magic returns.
      The creative techniques are taught well enough in the basic Silva Course, and so there is no need to repeat them here – nor would this chapter allow enough space. Instead I will briefly summarize the findings for you:
