Ο ιατρός Τσαμπίκος Σκουμπουρδής παρακολουθεί ασθενείς πριν το 1980. Έκανε διαφορετικές ειδικότητες και επέλεξε την ειδικότητα της ψυχιατρικής, ως την τέχνη που αντιμετωπίζει τον ασθενή στην ολότητά του και ως ύπαρξη μοναδική και ξεχωριστή (με τα ίδια συμπτώματα και με την ίδια διάγνωση, η θεραπεία είναι συνήθως διαφορετική και το αποτέλεσμα διαφορετικό).

Οι μέχρι τώρα δάσκαλοί του ήταν και είναι οι ίδιοι οι ασθενείς, που σε κάθε συνάντηση, μια διαφορετική πληροφορία, είναι μια διαφορετική κατανόηση της νοσηρότητας.

Η ιπποκράτεια αρχή, “ το προλαμβάνειν εστί χαλεπώτερον του θεραπεύειν’’, επιβεβαιώνεται απο την ίαση που επέρχεται χρονικά, όταν υπάρχει έγκυρη διάγνωση (μετράνε ακόμα και οι ώρες έναρξης της συμπτωματολογίας της διαταραχής, όταν προσέρχεται ο ασθενής) .

Μετά την ίαση, η θεραπεία ολοκληρώνεται, με την κοινωνική επανένταξη, την προνοιακή αποκατάσταση, την απομυθοποίηση της νόσου και τον αποστιγματισμό του ασθενούς και της οικογένειάς του. Η φροντίδα του ασθενούς είναι απαλλαγμένη απο τις δεσμεύσεις των ιατρικών πρωτοκόλλων,τα οποία νομιμοποιούν τις ιατρίκες πράξεις,προσφέροντας ασφάλεια στους ιατρούς και στους ασθενείς μια μακρόχρονη φαρμακευτική αγωγή.Αν και με την αύξηση της μεταβίσασης μειώνεται η ψυχοφαρμακολογία.

Στη γκάμα των υπηρεσιών του ιατρείου, περιλαμβάνονται η θεραπεία των ψυχικών διαταραχών (όπως κατάθλιψη, διπολική διαταραχή, χρόνιες ψυχώσεις, σχιζοσυναισθηματικές διαταραχές), η αντιμετώπιση αυτοάνοσων νοσημάτων (Νευρο- ενδοκρινολογική, Αιτιολογική αντιμετώπιση αυτοάνοσων συμπτωμάτων, που συνήθως είναι σε συννοσηρότητα με ψυχικές διαταρές, είτε ψυχικές εκδηλώσεις που ανήκουν στο σύνδρομο ανοσοανεπάρκειας), η θεραπεία απεξάρτησης ναρκωτικών ουσιών, η απεξάρτηση αλκοολισμού, η θεραπεία εγκεφαλοπάθειας και αυτισμού, η ψυχοθεραπεία (ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία ψυχαναλυτικού τύπου, με συμπληρωματική θεραπευτική των 12 ενεργειακών επιπέδων και προσωπικοτήτων, διαταραχές προσωπικότητας, διατροφής, ψυχοσωματικών εκδηλώσεων, διαχείριση πένθους και ψυχοπιεστικών καταστάσεων), η ομαδική ψυχοθεραπεία και θεραπεία ενεργειακών επιπέδων. Τέλος, παρέχει νευροενδοκρινολογική αντιμετώπιση τοξικοεξάρτησης και ανοσοανεπάρκειας.
