    About so-called Laws
    by Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D., 5/17/98

    The "law of requisite variety" is not a law, it is a heuristic that may be valuable under some circumstances. If taken literally, the "law" could justify much disrespectful, if not unethical behavior. There are some moral and ethical absolutes. Deluding a patient into a belief or confirmation of a "past life" has no place in an ethical therapy. Other explanatory/therapeutic devices can be used.
