Personal touch I like two quotes. One – from this century, the other from the beginnings of psychoanalysis. First – “Psychoanalysis make people understand, who they are, and how they function in this world” (Vittorio Gallese, neuroscientist). The second – “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate” (Carl Gustav Jung, Freud’s disciple, later the opponent).
