Many psychoanalysts refused to let me speak at their meetings. They were exceptionally vigorous because I had previously been an analyst and they were very angry at my flying the coop.

Unless, of course, you insist on identifying yourself with the people and things you love; and thereby seriously disturb yourself.

I teach people to be flexible, scientific and logical in their thinking and therefore to be less prone to brainwashing by the therapist.

To err is human; to forgive people and yourself for poor behavior is to be sensible and realistic.

Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they're alive and human.

People have motives and thoughts of which they are unaware.

The individual is taught that there is nothing that he as a total person is to feel ashamed of or self-hating for.
