Harry Sullivan, psychoanalyst:

Love exists when the satisfaction and safety of another person becomes as significant as their own satisfaction and security.

Otto Kernberg, psychoanalyst:

Love each other without losing themselves - the greatest complexity of emotional intimacy.

Adam Phillips, psychoanalyst:

Victor Frank, existential psychologist:

Love inevitably enriches the one who loves. And if so, there can be no such phenomenon as "unrequited, unhappy love." Love is the "experience" of another person in all its originality and uniqueness.

Erich Fromm, psychoanalyst:

If an individual loves only one person and is indifferent to others, his love is not love, but a symbiotic attachment or scorched self-love.

Karl Jung, Psychiatrist:

Where love dominates, there is no will to power; Where there is paramount to power, love is missing. One is not a shadow of another.

    The accusation of psychotherapy in missionary seems to me justified. It is strange to argue about the development of psychotherapy, except for the expansion as a property of life. Psychotherapy in her present understanding arose as a proposal in response to a socio-cultural request. But, arising, it - like every other area of \u200b\u200bactivity - can not not form demand. Logic, within which the formation of demand for medicine is called enlightenment, and on psychotherapy - missionary, there is a logic of preissandic subjectivity, double standard.

    I have a big doubt the thesis about the need to expose psychotherapeutic techniques "serious scientific analysis" - at least until this analysis is associated with "scientific worldview", on the basis of which, the psychotherapeutic techniques are not likely to act, and for now It is not defined that it should be a "serious scientific analysis", which they allegedly do not want to be exposed. It is appropriate to remember the anecdote: to a person standing in a long-line taxi, a private driver drives up: "Sweet?" - "But you are not a taxi" - "What do you need - checkers or go?". I have already become a winged phrase: "I don't know why it works, but it works" reflects the situation in psychotherapy much more accurate than allegedly scientific "checkers".

    Psychotherapy is often reproached in the fact that it is represented by many closed sects with his beliefs, its "bird language". Indeed, each of its directions forms its own theories, of which, allegedly, followed methods, although, with impartial examination, it turns out that these theories themselves are the essence of mythology, under individual perception and empirical finds.

    Psychotherapy is primarily an icon of culture.

Dialogue - and psychotherapy is a dialogue, and not an impact - inhibit.
