Famous quotes containing the words medical and/or treatment:

    “They said I’d never get you back again.
    I tell you what you’ll never really know:
    all the medical hypothesis
    that explained my brain will never be as true as these
    struck leaves letting go.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Narcissist: psychoanalytic term for the person who loves himself more than his analyst; considered to be the manifestation of a dire mental disease whose successful treatment depends on the patient learning to love the analyst more and himself less.”
    —Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
