Doctor of the Soul...


I'm reading "The Doctor And The Soul" by Viktor Frankl (of course) and came across a quote I LOVE!

"If we take people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat them as if they were what they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming" -Aphorism of Goethe

Regarding a suicidal patient..."In a surprising short time this doctor succeeded in explaining to man that human freedom is not a "freedom from" but a "freedom to"-a freedom to accept responsibility."
