“It is because they possess this courage, on the other hand, that many psychoanalytic patients, even at
the outset of therapy and contrary to their stereotypical image, are people who are basically much stronger and healthier than average.”

“This feeling of being valuable is a cornerstone of self-discipline because when one considers oneself

“Most people who come to see a psychiatrist are suffering from what is called either a neurosis or a character disorder... When neurotics are in conflict with the world they automatically assume that they are at fault. When those with character disorders are in conflict with the world they automatically assume that the world is at fault.”

“Dr. Hilde Bruch, in the preface to her book Learning
Psycho-therapy, states that basically all patients come to psychiatrists with "one common problem: the sense of helplessness, the fear and inner conviction of being unable to `cope' and to change things." t One of the roots of this "sense of impotence" in the majority of patients is some desire to partially or totally escape the pain of freedom, and, therefore, some failure, partial or
total, to accept responsibility for their problems and
their lives.”
― M. Scott Peck
