...Cover) Freud, Adler and Jung-these names personify, above all others, modern man's restless exploration of his own mind, his struggles for self-knowledge and for control of his darkest drives. In the 20th century, impelled by the detailed theory and dogma of the Big Three, psychology has burst out of consulting room and clinic, spreading all through life and leaving nothing untouched-neither love nor the machine, war nor politics, neither art nor morals nor God.

Dubois pledged himself to preach the dogma he had already denied, because he said he found "nothing opposed" to it in the Bible. Cardinal Saliège did not change his mind.
