So this book wants to set psychology back two hundred years, to the time when Romantic enthusiasm was breaking up the Age of Reason. I want psychology to have its base in the imagination of people rather than their statistics and diagnostics. I want the poetic mind applied to case histories so that we read them for what they are: modern forms of fiction, and not scientific reports.
