“I have seen any number of cases where the cure was hindered by theoretical considerations.
Without exception, the failure was due to a lack of contact. It is only the most scrupulous observation of this rule that can prevent unforeseen catastrophes.
So long as you feel the human contact, the atmosphere of mutual confidence, there is no danger, and even if you have to face the terrors of insanity or the shadowy menace of suicide, there is still that area of human faith, that certainty of understanding and of being understood, no matter how black the night.”
