A short passage shared today from a fascinating book I'm still reading by psychoanalyst Dr. Robert M. Linder (1914-1956) on "abandoned solitude" and his warnings on how giving up reflective time alone negatively impacts mental health.Dr. Linder also wrote "Rebel Without a Cause: The Hypnoanalysis of a Criminal Psychopath" and "The 50 Minute-Hour: A Collection of True Psychoanalytic Tales."Source: "Must You Conform?" by Robert Linder (1956)
