Forty years ago a
F'reudian•trained " psychiatrist
named Abraham Maslow was
.consulted by a girl who had been
a brilliant scholar and wanted to
become a teacher: the Wall
Street" crash, which ruined her
parents, forced her to take a job
. as, manageress in. a chewingsgum
factory and for two years she
supported her family. When she ,
carne to Maslow she was bored
With the 'futility of her. job and
permanently run down. Maslow
decided on a novel form of
treatment, He did not ask her if
she hated her mother and
wanted to sleep with her father,,
he, said in effect: You are
stagnating. If ,you can't afford to
give up your job why not take a
course at night school? She did .,
and her symptoms cleared up
This is just One example of
the revolution whjcb is 'taking
place in every department of
science today. In biology,
psychology, philosophy and
even (*1.) linguistics. Where
Freud tried to explain everything
by the Oedipus complex,
Maslow saw that the_ girl's
neurosis was due tor frustrated
intelligence - to her stifled
creativity, and he went ori from
this to create a new,, school of
psychology. He realised that to
date psychology had paid too
much.. attention to the sick and
too little to the healthy. As a
result of his studies of the latter,
he found that healthy people
m 1 experience, occasions-- -ot~ sheer
• delight; explosions, which, ., he
called "peak experiences';, and
as a result, he learned - how to -
cure chronic alcoholics by a kind
of hypnosiwhich---'included
.` such peak experiences.
• _For' 200 years both .scientists'
and philosophers have been
materialists, with Schiller as
their great exponent, while
Goethe hated them. Now it
seeni's as though science was
about to agree with Goethe. The
Origin of Species"
demonstrated ' that mechanical
evolution covered all the known
facts and Darwin claimed that
creatures do not, desire change, .
The sick and stupid die because
they are not fitted to survive.
*According to Darwin, it ' was

passed on genetically. because
the mind could not influence the
