45、overy. （Paragraph 10）Any treatment that disturbs or interferes with these relationships jeopardizes the process of recovery.Global analysis of the textMedication and treatment can bring patients back to a normal life. However, for those who are suffering from mental illness, trust and encouragement

46、can work a miracle. Trust from their doctors and nurses can put a sparkle into their lives and encourage them not to fall back. Encouragement from doctors, nurses and friends, either in action or in words, brings psychological help, and helps the patients more than medication and medical treatment.

47、Analysis of the text structure The text falls into three parts: Part I Paragraphs 16 demonstrate through examples that people can significantly recover from mental illness if they can be helped by someone who trusts them. Part II Paragraphs 78 further illustrate that the people who trust and help ot

48、hers will also receive centering and spiritual renewal. Part III Paragraphs 910 point out that people often do not want to communicate with mentally ill patients as equals and do not trust these patients. This can jeopardize the process of recovery. Summary of the text The text mainly illustrates th

49、e most effective way of treating people labeled with mental illness. It begins with the viewpoint that mentally ill people can significantly recover from the mental illness if they are helped by someone who believes in them. Trust encourages patients to build a close relationship with someone else a

50、nd ultimately rescues them from their distressing circumstances. Summary of the text The author has successfully proved this point through his descriptions of patient experiences. Additionally, not only the one being helped, but also the one who is willing to be of help can benefit from such attitud

51、es. The research of Carl Rogers and Martin Buber serve as very good support for this concept. We, as well as the patients labeled with mental illness, have the same basic need for a trusting, loving and caring relationship which requires development and improvement. Any system of care that disturbs or interferes wit
