Quotes by Jamieson Webster  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“This kind of work in psychoanalysis, little by little, begins to chart a path, developing a rhythm that gives the treatment a definitive shape—what Freud would call its architecture. For anyone who has witnessed this slow transformation—the force of this work to create the subtlest yet most radical shifts—there isn’t room for a lot of doubt, except perhaps concerning how to find the way to break into this space with every patient.”
Jamieson Webster, Conversion Disorder: Listening to the Body in Psychoanalysis

“Religious man was born to be saved, psychological man is born to be pleased.”
Philip Rieff, The Triumph of the Therapeutic: Uses of Faith after Freud
