Love is not just a passion spark between two people; there is infinite difference between falling in love and standing in love. Rather, love is a way of being, a giving to, not a 'falling for; a mode...
Life is a spark between two identical voids, the darkness before birth and the one after death.
If you make a mistake, admit it. Any attempt at cover-up will ultimately backfire. At some level the patient will sense you are acting in bad faith, and therapy will suffer. Furthermore, an open admis...
If a way to the Better there be, it exacts a full look at the Worst.
I've always regarded therapy more as a calling than a profession, a way of life for people who care about others.
I often urge patients to project themselves into the future and to consider how they can live now so that five years hence they will be able to look back upon life without regret sweeping over them an...
I have noted two particularly powerful and common methods of allaying fears about death, two beliefs, or delusions, that afford a sense of safety. One is the belief in personal specialness; the other,...
I do not like to work with patients who are in love. Perhaps it is because of envy—I, too, crave enchantment. Perhaps it is because love and psychotherapy are fundamentally incompatible. The good ther...
I am old. I am at the end of my life's work. I have no children, and I approach death full of dread. I am choking on darkness. I am choking on the silence of death. I think I know a way. I try to pier...
Heidegger, iki farklı varlık durumundan söz eder. Bunların ilki, dünya üzerinde 'nesnelerin oldukları biçimlerini' izleyen ''gündelik'' varlık durumudur. Varolma haline, kaçışa, bizi çevreleyen nesnel...
From the beginning, of course, I had known that the pure forcefulness of my argument would not penetrate deep enough to effect any change. It almost never does. It’s never worked for me when I’ve been...
For one can never really be helped by another; one must find the strength to help oneself.
Existential isolation, a third given, refers to the unbridgeable gap between self and others, a gap that exists even in the presence of deeply gratifying interpersonal relationships. One is isolated n...
Ev kirasını ve kasaba borcunu nasıl ödeyeceğini düşündüğün zaman özgürlüğün konusunda pek fazla kaygı duymana fırsat kalmıyor.
Encased in an elaborate illusion of unlimited power and progress, each of us subscribes, at least until one’s mid-life crisis, to the belief that existence consists of an eternal, upward spiral of ach...
Controversy has always existed among psychiatrists and psychologists about the validity of personality diagnosis. Some believe in the merits of the enterprise and devote their careers to ever greater...
Budući da je istina da se punoća duše ponekad može utopiti u potpunoj bljutavosti jezika, jer niko od nas nikada ne može zaista izraziti tačne mere svojih potreba, misli ili patnji; a ljudski govor je...
Better, Josef, far better, to have the courage to change your convictions. Duty and faithfulness are shams, curtains to hide behind. Self-liberation means a sacred no, even to duty.
Belki de sevdiğiniz insanları düşünmektesiniz. Ama daha derine inin, sonunda sevdiğinizin onlar olmadığını göreceksiniz: Siz bu sevginin içinizde yarattığı duyguları seviyorsunuz! Siz arzuyu seviyorsu...
