Here you can see what needs to be taken into account if you want to talk about psychiatry not from a theoretical and programmatic point of view but from a realistic one, as is indeed the case today, when we are already turning to the seriousness that arises from insight, when we realize how, basically, our scientists have become so one-sided, especially since the time of Galileo, and how it is necessary to take in new ideas in a fruitful way in all fields. Otherwise, human knowledge, especially in those fields that are supposed to lead into practice, into the practice of life, will come to complete decadence.
