Szasz, The Second Sin: Psychology, 1973
It seems a pity that psychology has destroyed all our knowledge of human
nature. - G.K. Chesterton, London Observer, 9 December 1934
Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps
undermining the effort. - Mason Cooley
The psychologists and the metaphysicians wrangle endlessly over the nature
of the thinking process in man, but no matter how violently they differ
otherwise they all agree that it has little to do with logic and is not much
conditioned by overt facts. - H.L. Mencken
A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise
healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world. - Paul
Dudley White
Idleness is the beginning of all psychology. What? Could it be that
psychology is - a vice? - Friedrich Nietzsche, alluding to the proverb
"Idleness is the beginning of all vices"
If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such
an infernal stink at last, as human psychology. - D.H. Lawrence
Psychology doesn't address the soul; that's something else. - David Chase,
The Sopranos, "Pilot," original airdate 10 January 1999, spoken by the
character Carmela Soprano
The purpose of psychology is to give us a completely different idea of the
things we know best. - Paul Valéry, Tel Quel, 1943
My psychology belongs to everyone. - Alfred Adler
Behavioral psychology is the science of pulling habits out of rats. - Dr.
Douglas Busch
A psychologist objects to what he calls "herd thinking," but what a majority
of people think is always what they've heard. - Anonymous
Psychoanalysis: Confession without absolution. - G.K. Chesterton
To mature means to take responsibility for your life, to be on your own.
Psychoanalysis fosters the infantile state by considering that the past is
responsible for the illness. - Fritz Perls
A wonderful discovery, psychoanalysis. Makes quite simple people feel
they're complex. - S.N. Behrman
The two main hazards of psychoanalysis: that it might fail, and that if it
succeeds, you'll never be able to forgive yourself for all those wasted
years. - Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966

so that they can be normally unhappy. - Sigmund Freud, attributed
Psychoanalysis can provide a theory of 'progress,' but only by viewing
history as a neurosis. - Norman O. Brown, Life Against Death

psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis will fade away just as mesmerism and phrenology did, and for
the same reason - its exploded pretensions will deprive it of recruits. -

There are cases where psychoanalysis works worse than anything else. But
who said that psychoanalysis was to be applied always and everywhere. - Carl
G. Jung
Work cure is the best of all psychotherapy, in my opinion.... As well might
we expect a patient to recover without food as to recover without work....
The sound man needs work to keep him sound, but the nervous invalid has an
even greater need of work to draw him out of his isolation, and to stop the
miseries of doubt and self-scrutiny, to win back self-respect and the
support of fellowship. - Richard C. Cabot
If my devils are to leave me, I am afraid my angels will take flight as
well. - Rainer Maria Rilke, on leaving psychotherapy
Why waste money on psychotherapy when you can listen to the B Minor Mass? -
Michael Torke
A neurotic is a man who builds a castle in the air. A psychotic is the man
who lives in it. A psychiatrist is the man who collects the rent. - Jerome
Lawrence
Why do psychiatrists systematically impose themselves on persons who want to
have nothing to do with them? I believe they do so because, like most
people, psychiatrists love power and exult in pushing others around. -
Thomas Szasz
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face. - Ben
Williams
A psychiatrist asks a lot of expensive questions your wife asks for nothing.
- Joey Adams
The ideas of mental health and mental illness have replaced the idea of God
and the Devil, and the institutionally legitimized explanations,
justifications, and interventions of psychiatry have replaced those of
organized religion. "During the Middle Ages," James Turner observes, "no
clear lines separate the religious from the secular...The church and the
world blended." Today, no clear line separates the psychiatric from the
nonpsychiatric: the explanations, justifications, and interventions of
psychiatry permeate the world and blend with it. - Thomas Szasz
Psychiatry is probably the single most destructive force that has affected
the American society within the last fifty years. - Thomas S. Szasz
It is characteristic of all movements and crusades that the psychopathic
element rises to the top. - Robert Lindner
Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze
themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover
where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin. -
Tori Amos
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you. - Anonymous
A lot of what passes for depression these days is nothing more than a body
saying that it needs work. - Geoffrey Norman
Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression. - Dodie Smith,
I Capture The Castle
I'm definitely, positively, maybe indecisive. - Anonymous
Men will always be mad, and those who think they can cure them are the
maddest of all. - Voltaire
Mental health problems do not affect three or four out of every five persons
but one out of one. - William Menninger
To be too conscious is an illness - a real thoroughgoing illness. - Fyodor
Dostoevski
Loneliness... is and always has been the central and inevitable experience
of every man. - Thomas Wolfe
I can live for two months on a good compliment. - Mark Twain
Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering. - Carl G. Jung
Becoming conscious is of course a sacrilege against nature; it is as though
you had robbed the unconscious of something. - Carl G. Jung
Neurosis is no worse than a bad cold; you ache all over, and it's made you a
mess, but you won't die from it. - Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's
Notebook, 1960
A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother. - Anonymous
But my dear man, reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know. - Alan
Watts
Depression is rage spread thin. - George Santayana
I don't know what apathy is and I don't care! - Anonymous

cannot be got at for repair. There have always been human beings like that.

that impels women to clean house in the middle of the night. - James Thurber

can be cured by a daily application of old Greek myths to their private
parts.- Vladimir Nabokov, 1951
I am not a violent person and if you say that again, I'll kill you! -
Anonymous
People who do not understand themselves have a craving for understanding. -
Wilhelm Stekel
If you just set people in motion, they'll heal themselves. - Gabrielle Roth
Confronted by outstanding merit, there is no way of saving one's ego except
by love. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Words are the physicians of a mind diseased. - Aeschylus
I'm beside myself with schizophrenia. - Anonymous
Anybody who is 25 or 30 years old has physical scars from all sorts of
things, from tuberculosis to polio. It's the same with the mind. - Moses R.
Kaufman
