People Only Seriously Consider Change When They

One Of The Most Revolutionary Concepts To Grow Out Of Our Clinical Experience Is The Growing Recognition That Innermost Core Of Man's Nature - The Deepest Layers Of His Personality, The Base Of His 'animal Nature' - Is Basically Socialized, Forward-moving, Rational And Realistic... He Is Realistically Able To Control Himself, And He Is Incorrigibly Socialized In His Desires. There Is No Beast In Man, There Is Only Man In Man.

The Degree To Which I Can Create Relationships, Which Facilitate The Growth Of Others As Separate Persons, Is A Measure Of The Growth I Have Achieved In Myself.

In My Early Professional Years I Was Asking The Question: How Can I Treat, Or Cure, Or Change This Person? Now I Would Phrase The Question In This Way: How Can I Provide A Relationship Which This Person May Use For His Own Personal Growth?

I Am Increasingly An Architect Of Self. I Am Free To Will And Choose. I Can, Through Accepting My Individuality... Become More Of My Uniqueness, More Of My Potentiality.

It Is A Direction Not A Destination.
