In The Cosmology Behind Psychology, There Is No Reason For Anyone To Be Here Or To Do Anything... I'am An Accident - A Result - And Therefore A Victim... If I'm Only A Result Of Past Causes, Then I'm A Victim Of Those Past Causes....

This Is Who I Am.

I Am Attacking The Theories Of Psychotherapy.
