“Today the function of psychiatry, psychology and psychoanalysis threatens to become the tool in the manipulation of man.”
“I have discovered the value of psychology and psychiatry, that their teachings can undo knots in us and permit life to flow again and aid us in becoming more truly human.”
“Gods and politics are the tools with which the godless and unprincipled manipulate the gullible.”
“Positive psychology is a framework, or a paradigm, that encompasses an approach to psychology from the perspective of healthy, successful life functioning.”
