Quotes by Valery Hazanov (?)

“There is a dichotomy between the humanistic, narrative-based perception of psychology and the academic, empirically based approach to it. The Freuds vs. the white-coated people. It is not an abstract theoretical dispute at all, but rather a reality, which has affected me and probably all students of psychology over the years.”

“The more someone is hurt and bullied in his life, the more he is not heard or seen, the more he is criticised and belittled - the less likely he is to experience human relations with a lens other than that of his own needs and the pain of those needs not being met.”
