Press Release Body:

Ottawa, ON, September 10, 2008 -- The Institute for Human Conceptual and Mental
Development (IHCMD) is developing a new web site, Mental Problems / Problems of the
Mind, to be launched on October 10, 2008, to coincide with World Mental Health Day.
The web site will provide a different approach of dealing with mental problems, the
mind and mental existence: Active individual mental engagement, individual mental
work and effort, understanding and managing the mind and mental existence from the
inside.

Mental problems are the most serious and fundamental issue we face. They affect all
of us, and they affect everything we do and we engage in. Mental problems affect how
we understand and manage existence and development. They affect how individually we
manage and conduct ourselves, how we connect, communicate and cooperate with each
other, and how we relate and interact with the world around us, with nature and the
natural environment. Mental problems are at the roots of all the problems we face
today -- cultural, religious, political, social, economic and environmental
problems, conflicts and confrontations.

The traditional approach of psychology, psychiatry and psychiatric medication has
not been able to get at the roots of the problem, beyond treating symptoms and
consequences leading to dependence and addiction.

Mental problems in their essence are difficulties understanding and managing the
mind and mental existence. They are difficulties understanding and managing the role
and responsibility in the mind and mental existence that by nature are individually
ours to understand and manage. The difficulties are not rooted in repressed memories
or the biological foundation of the mind and mental existence, the neurological
structure and workings of the brain. They are rooted in the nature, demands and
challenges of the mind and mental existence, and our role and responsibility in
them.

What is required is a different approach, an approach that addresses the roots of
the problem. It requires active individual engagement, individual mental work and
effort, understanding and managing the mind and mental existence from the inside. It
requires understanding and managing what takes place, what we do and what we need to
do in the mind and mental existence.

We need to rescue the mind and mental existence from science and liberate them from
religion. Science is reducing the mind and mental existence to a biological
information-processing mechanism, the neurological structure and workings of the
brain, the human genetic makeup and genetic evolution. Religion on the other hand
views the mind and mental existence as the human sole and spirit, our connection to
a supernatural-spiritual world.

What is required is to understand and manage the mind and mental existence as the
place where we consciously exist and act, where we experience, become aware and
where we must consider the conditions of existence and the world around us. The mind
and mental existence is where individually we are in charge and in control, where we
must actively be engaged and take responsibility for what takes place and what we
do. It is where we make choices and decisions, where we define aims, goals and
objectives, and where we must consider, plan, organize and manage our behaviour and
actions. Problems and difficulties, errors and mistakes, success and failure have
their roots and beginning in the mind and mental existence, and it is where answers
and solutions must start.

The web site will be a free public service, designed for users, practitioners and
interested parties alike. It will provide resources to understand and manage mental
problems, the mind and mental existence from the inside, through active individual
mental engagement, individual mental work and effort.

An outline of the web site is available at www.ihcmd.org. For more information,
