I wrote my first textbook in 1970. It was called ‘The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy,’ and over the years, many students told me that they enjoyed reading it because there were so many stories in there; often just a paragraph or a page of something that happened in a group session. – Irvin D. Yalom
It is not good practice to become intrigued by Satan and his mysteries. No good can come from getting close to evil. – James E. Faust
