Psych. 2 – V. 3 – 5. Jesus: “If this world were ideal, there could perhaps be ideal therapy. And yet what use would it have in an ideal world? We speak of ‘ideal teaching,’ yet we are in a world in which the perfect teacher could not long remain; where the ‘perfect psychotherapist’ is but a glimmer of a thought not yet conceived.
Yet must we speak of that which can be done, within the bounds of the attainable, in helping ‘the insane’ among our brothers. While they are sick, they can and must be helped. No more than that is asked of psychotherapy; no less than all he has to give is worthy of the therapist. For God Himself holds out to him his brother as his savior from the world.
Healing is holy. Nothing in the world is holier than helping one who asks for help! And two come very close to God in this attempt, however limited it may seem to be, however lacking even in sincerity.
