The Society of Natural Science is an assemblage of persons -- both those clinically involved in the practice of psychotherapy and those from the general public -- who are devoted to the development and dissemination of the most authentic understanding of human nature, its functional illnesses and their treatment, that is today achievable through truly scientific methodologies. 

The scientific methodology principally utilized in our development has been, and continues to be, operational research. This creative type of scientific methodology does not employ the rigorous techniques of the hypothetico-deductive format, typically used to evaluate findings of creative research but, instead, relies heavily on clinical experience and a sober, down-to-earth evaluation of the quality of available evidence. 

By the term functional illness we refer to those human afflictions resulting from how and what people are taught. Thus, we focus on the psychogenic -- sometimes called neurotic -- illnesses that are so destructive in our lives and in the world around us. 

As a scientific group then, the Society holds an evolving body of theory and concepts outlining our views as to the nature of humanity, how we fit into the natural world, how we should conduct our lives, and what happens to us when we die. As such, it is subject to modification, refinement, or even rejection as may be required by new evidence. We reject the concept of absolute and uncriticizable truths. 

We believe that the utilization of our theory constitutes the most effective approach to some of the worlds most pressing, current problems. This conviction is based on three observations:

1- People around the world harbour many false beliefs about human nature.

2- To the extent that people believe in that which is not real, but false, their ability to cope with life's problems is impaired.

3- Scientific methodology seeks to discover reality, pleasing or not.
