"The neurotic can not be happy because he is not passionate about life, he despises it, he discredits it, he hates it. The task of the psychotherapist is then to return him, in fullness, the love for life and for the community, and this through a critical discussion, in which the meaning of life and the value of the community are evidently not demonstrable. , but given, not persecutable, but intimately rooted in personal interests, because the way that leads to personal happiness, satisfaction, beatitudo, passes through the sense of community, the courage to live, the virtus".
