...prospered in peace or war (other people's wars) on the secret accounts of the high and mighty, Franco's arrest of Swiss bankers was a rude and unexpected blow. Said an official of Société de Banque Suisse: "We are taking a very serious view. The matter concerns all banks and our entire banking system...

For a full understanding, and hence for successful psychotherapy, they hold that man must be seen in his entirety, in the light of his self-consciousness, his imagination, his creativity, and his unique ability to see himself as a finite creature, poised on the brink of nothingness-as Pascal put it, "here rather than...
