It is not guaranteed and often not complete, and even if it were both, a major problem would still remain: most people who need treatment seek it only reluctantly, after failing at selfhelp, after much harm has been done, and after much pressure interior and exterior—has been brought to bear. However, as with heart disease and cancer in the health domain, theft and assaultive behavior in the realm of violent crime, or homelessness and family dissolution in the area of social welfare, the absence of a panacea does not excuse society from responding with the tools at hand and to the best of its ability.
