Oedipus Recapped. Dr. May explained to his skeptical audience why he-and growing numbers of analysts in Europe and the U.S.-feel that a new approach, but not a new school, is needed. Trouble with previous analytic or "depth psychology" schools, he argued, is that they fail to get to the root of the problems that send patients to analysts nowadays. Thus both scientific progress and improvements in treatment are blocked. May & Co. are convinced that when conventional analytic treatment appears to effect a cure, in all probability something has been going on inside the patient that was different from...

Also, that although its practitioners in psychotherapy readily admit their debt to recent and contemporary philosophers (notably, Henri Bergson and the phenomenologists Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger), most of the pioneers began working out an existential approach independently of one another and while still ignorant of its philosophic bases...

...Rocket is admittedly past his peak; yet he has still managed 14 goals and 19 assists this season to tie for third place in the scoring standings. No one in the league is close to his career marks for goals (603); only Detroit's Gordie Howe can approach his mark for total points (Richard 1,047, Howe 942). The Rocket still holds the record for most goals in one season (50 in an abbreviated 50-game season, 1944-45). He is also one of the game's great clutch players, has scored the winning goal in 98 games...
...want you to grieve over my death. I do not mind if you weep. Go ahead and weep. But please realize that my death is for the best, and do not feel bitter about it. I have had a happy life . . . I will precede you now, mother, in the approach to Heaven...
