"Saya ingat sesi terapi kelompok ketika salah satu pasien dengan enggan berbelok di tikungan. Dia akan menerimanya, katanya, tetapi dia tidak akan menyukai gagasan harus menyelesaikan masalah setiap hari selama sisa hidupnya. Co-terapis saya mengatakan kepadanya bahwa tidak perlu dia menyukainya. Dia menceritakan ketidaksenangannya sendiri, dengan mengatakan: 'Saya ingat bahwa ketika saya pertama kali menemukan seperti apa hidup ini, saya sangat marah. Saya kira saya kadang-kadang masih agak marah. ' (135)"

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I remember a group therapy session when one of the patients was reluctantly turning his corner. He would accept it, he said, but he wouldn't like the idea of having to solve problems every day for the rest of his life. My co-therapist told him that it was not required that he like it. She shared her own displeasure, saying: 'I remember that when I first discovered what life was like, I was furious. I guess I'm still kind of mad sometimes.' (135)
