Quote of the Day 1 Nov 2015

Wilhelm Stekel and the other early psychoanalysts  (1910 and after) overstated the case when they pro claimed that no one [dies by] suicide who has not wished the death of another; that suicide is basically hostility directed toward the image of a loved one incorporated within the psyche. Not only is this explanation often off the mark, but even more, the individual who [dies by] suicide usually does not even wish to kill himself.
