== Implementation of the Method ==
One of the famous doctors who pioneered a method based on the Rebbe's words is Professor Reuven Feuerstein, who said that psychology should not be viewed as an "exact science" that can measure psychological traits "as one measures the length of a table," and therefore he maintains, for example, that psychometric exams and similar tests have no meaning.

"A person is not 'a unit with fixed, unchangeable data' that can be measured," says Feuerstein, "but a unit capable of change for better or worse alike." The only essential unchanging characteristic in a person - and particularly in a Jewish person - is that hidden core within them, which is literally a part of God above.

"These characteristics of a person - being capable of change and carrying a seed of divinity - give the person great freedom of choice and responsibility: they require him to stand guard lest he change for the worse, and equally to hope that he will change for the better."

The essence of this psychological theory, which sees change as an inseparable part of life itself, carries hope for all people in general, but it has a real message for those who suffer from learning and adaptation difficulties. In one sentence, Feuerstein's method completely rejects the approach that there are "terminal deficiencies" in the life of the soul.

In the words printed on the cover of the last volume of his latest book, Feuerstein presents his entire concept in one sentence: "Don't accept me as I am - change me." In this book, he brings the stories of many people whose rehabilitation was made possible thanks to his theory - one of them is a figure in whose healing and rehabilitation the Rebbe was involved at every stage.
