I think this type of mentality sets some up for failure or in some cases, mental breakdowns.
Many offer cookie-cutter approaches to healing, not just in the LC, for dealing with those suffering psychological problems. Is easier, and the problem is dismissed. Often it comes the the form of, only God, Jesus, and the Bible, can heal them. All they, we, need, in this line of thinking is, more Jesus. But more Jesus, in the LC environment, just adds to the cognitive dissonance, and to more psychological stress. I know a brother that that is precisely what happened to him, in Anaheim, no less. It drove him out of his mind.
