More From James Hillman
- "Psychotherapy theory turns it all on you: you are the one who is wrong. If a kid is having trouble or is discouraged, the problem is not just inside the kid; it’s also in the system, the society."
- "We approach people the same way we approach our cars. We take the poor kid to a doctor and ask, What’s wrong with him, how much will it cost, and when can I pick him up?"
- "I don’t think anything changes until ideas change. The usual American viewpoint is to believe that something is wrong with the person."
