Religion and medical psychology

Summary

The costly process of depersonalization underlies all living from which the individual must withhold his feeling of personal identity. Only my recognition of my self as creator of new selfness in my every experience continuously provides my self-consciousness (self-insight) the immediate recognition of my own intact autonomous wholeness.

Responsible self-activity is conscious freedom. This comprehension of human unity is accessible to every devoted practitioner appreciating the full-measured meaning of individuality. Particularly since Hippocrates, who considered him-self of divine origin, every physician's medical ideal is: full respect for the idiosyncrasy of the individual.

I close with a choice statement made by renowned Edward Glover, M.D., in the preface of his insightful work,An Investigation of the Technique of Psycho-Analysis, “Periodic revision of technical principles is obviously essential for the good health of any science, and I look forward to a renewal of this investigation in the near future.”
