A word of warning: the following ideas will be presented in plain everyday language, avoiding any type of professional lexicon. It may be that this down‐to‐earth form of presentation will disappoint some of my potential readers who are accustomed to peruse material presented in sophisticated meta‐systemic language. All I can do is plead guilty, and in self‐defense put forward two arguments. First, that I cannot escape the universal truth, “the style is the man,” and second, that the simple ideas which I am to present here are all, without exception, the result of concrete clinical experience, with no admixture of theoretical armchair speculation.
