There is a singularity of outlook that a therapist must have if he is to help the patient, and there is no way he can have such an outlook unless has conquered his own demons. And it seems to me that many a so-called mental health ‘expert’ is an expert only in getting through credentialing programs that are exercises in evading one’s demons and in failing to acquire just the sort of inner strength that is the corner stone of any effective analyst’s practice.
