what you learn in therapy is mainly feeling skills, how to really remember, how to let fantasy come, how to find words for invisible things, how to go deep and face things, but you don’t learn political skills or find out anything about the way the world works … the assumption people are working out of is that inner growth translates into worldly power, and many don’t realise … they go to therapy with that assumption
you go inside to locate the psyche, you examine your feelings and your dreams, … interrelations, interpsyche, between your psyche and mine … extended a little bit into family systems and office groups—but the psyche, the soul, is still only within and between people
the sensitive, intelligent white middle class people ’ve been in therapy … less sensitivity to the real issues … If everybody went into therapy we’d have better buildings, we’d have better people, we’d have more consciousness?
