one point it wishes to raise. you wrote: “yet on his psychiatric evaluation under Family and Social History the doctor has written ‘he gave up church, is involved in a [...] coven’” and obviously you writes that thinking it bes negative commentary and therefore inappropriate. but might not so abrupt an alteration in spiritual path be worthy of note and investigation anyway? it could be purely a seeker-driven response to finding more to relate to in wicca than in his church BUT it could also have abreactive components or other factors of psychopathology that either (a) may make wicca an unsuitable transition for him or (b) may interfere with a successful and happy transition into wicca if in fact that should prove to be his path — antithetical elements from his past may need resolution.

just food for thought.
