The Hallmark Of Courage In Our Age

Understanding And Love Require A Wisdom That Comes Only With Age.

We Express Our Being By Creating. Creativity Is A Necessary Sequel To Being.

I Became A Psychotherapist Because That's Where People Will Unburden Themselves, Where They Will Show What Is In Their Hearts.

Power Is Required For Communication. To Stand Before An Indifferent Or Hostile Group And Have One's Say, Or To Speak Honestly To A Friend Truths That Go Deep And Hurt These Require Self-affirmation, Self-assertion, And Even At Times Aggression. ... My Experience In Psychotherapy Convinces Me That The Act Which Requires The Most Courage Is The Simple Communication, Unpropelled By Rage Or Anger, Of One's Deepest Thoughts To Another.

It May Sound Surprising When I Say, On The Basis Of My Own Clinical Practice As Well As That Of My Psychological And Psychiatric Colleagues, That The Chief Problem Of People In The Middle Decade Of The Twentieth Century Is Emptiness.
