Worrying About Dying Will Hardly Help You

Whatever May Be, I Am Still Largely The Creator And Ruler Of My Emotional Destiny.

When I Started To Get Disillusioned With Psychoanalysis I Reread Philosophy And Was Reminded Of The Constructivist Notion That Epictetus Had Proposed 2,000 Years Ago: "people Are Disturbed Not By Events That Happen To Them, But By Their View Of Them." I Could See How That Applied To Many Of My Clients.

I Think The Future Of Psychotherapy And Psychology Is In The School System. We Need To Teach Every Child How To Rarely Seriously Disturb Himself Or Herself And How To Overcome Disturbance When It Occurs. In That Sense, Psychotherapy Belongs In The Schools.

Freudian Therapists Do A Lot Of Listening And Very Little Persuading, And That Was One Of The Reasons I Eventually Gave Up Being An Analyst. You Had To Be Too Passive And Not Speak Up, And You Couldn't Give Homework To Clients. While I Was Still An Analyst, I Wrote Several Articles Criticizing Psychoanalysis, But The Analysts Weren't Listening To My Objections. So I Finally Quit Psychoanalysis After Practicing It For Six Years.
