LEGENDARY PSYCHIATRIST

 

Dr. Young finds one heartening proof of success in the fact that before his work with the ministers started there was only one group of Methodist churches in Nebraska sponsoring clinics on family life, whereas today there are 27—with more starting up each month.

The ministers' clinic, which has changed its name to the Institute of Psychology and Religion, now has a second group (largely ministers and their wives) under way with Dr. Young and the tape recorder. At their first session early this month, Bob Young brought up the question of love. "We've all been brought up with the idea that we give much to others," he said. "Yet it simply isn't so. You can't feel another person's feelings. There is no inter-love. Love is an intrapersonal thing."

The room bristled. "Right now," declared one of the ministers, "we'd say bosh."
