Lawrence J. Cohen
“Plus, we adults have unhealed hurts from our own childhoods, which sometimes get in the way right when our children need our support. Our own piles of old feelings interfere with parenting playfully. In turn, that makes it hard to help children with their emotional difficulties,”
― Lawrence J. Cohen, Playful Parenting: An Exciting New Approach to Raising Children That Will Help You Nurture Close Connections, Solve Behavior Problems, and Encourage Confidence

Thomas Szasz
“The fact that physicians commit suicide more frequently than do lay persons ought to unmask their claims about suicide prevention as self-serving propaganda.”
― Thomas Szasz, Fatal Freedom: The Ethics and Politics of Suicide

“Psychiatry at its best is what all medicine needs more of - humanity, art, listening, and empathy - but at its worst it is driven by fear, judgement, and hubris. In the end, the takeaway, repeated again and again in my interviews is: Medicine in general, and psychiatry in particular, is as mysterious and soulful as it is scientific.”
― Susan Cahalan

“Bread addiction is little different from that of alcohol or cocaine or heroin addiction, and sometimes it seems even more dangerous. Did you ever see a fat man praying for the soul of some poor alcoholic or drug addict? Yet he couldn’t stop his own helping of whole wheat toast for breakfast to save his soul.”
― Dr. Blake F. Donaldson, Strong Medicine

“As the public anxieties about infectious disease outbreaks
rose in recent years with the advent of SARS, N1H1 flu, Ebola,
and Zika, we observed in awe how the public would react to an
impending outbreak in their midst and how those public fears
would emerge and spread like, well, an epidemic. A wave of
public angst anticipating an outbreak would swell, crest, and
then subside, very much like the wave of the infection outbreak
itself. In the wake of both waves, relief would follow.”
― Damir Huremovic, Psychiatry of Pandemics: A Mental Health Response to Infection Outbreak
