More Quotes from Thomas Szasz:
Aided and abetted by corrupt analysts, patients who have nothing better to do with their lives often use the psychoanalytic situation to transform insignificant childhood hurts into private shrines at which they worship unceasingly the enormity of the offenses committed against them. This solution is immensely flattering to the patients -- as are all forms of unmerited self-aggrandizement it is immensely profitable for the analysts -- as are all forms pandering to people's vanity and it is often immensely unpleasant for nearly everyone else in the patient's life.Thomas Szasz
