"If one is too strongly attached to one's preconceived model, one will of necessity miss all radical discoveries. It is amazing to what degree one may fail to register mentally an observation which does not fit the initial image. On the other hand, if one is too open-minded and pursues every hitherto unknown phenomenon, one is almost certain to lose one's self in trivia." --Martin Deutsch

"Thinking and feeling human beings are appalled by the absurdities which now distort and destroy men's lives. Some retreat into passivity or alienation. Others slip into delinquency, illness, or other forms of deviance. All stand in jeopardy of losing meaningful connection with others and with the world of nature whose qualities support and refresh human nature. A sense of receding autonomy and a flawed identity in a mass society are sources of chronic stress to countless numbers. In the constantly changing conditions of a technological society, the arena for help may no longer be man against himself in intrapsychic terms but man against malevolent forces and irrationalities in his environment." --Carel Germain Casework and Science: A Historical Encounter
