SECRETS OF

by DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

WHEN you come to think Of 1t
w there IL just az good a

For IL not the mind. the con-

preme organ, as II were, which
has 80 much to do with our ef-
ficiency, our happiness, and all
our relationships in life?
You probably have heard Of It
Already-this business of being
''psyched."
You have probably heard and
read about this new science

When you get psyched you find

psyched means having the truth

that anyone should want to be
treated in such fashion?
Are such people average or
are they exceptionally gifted?
Are they curious and investiga-
ting types? Are they morbid?
Are they the failures in life?
Do those who want to be
psyched possess an overpowering
sense OF their own importance
that they should desire so much
information about their real, in.

Well, some are like each of the
above.
Yet others are nervous and sick

are perfectly normal. rational.
energetic men and women full Of
zest and so and the spirit to be
happy and successful.
Psychoanalysis may appeal to
every kind of person, young and
old, rich and poor. sick and well.
The reason? Because no matter
how happy and successful you
may be, psychoanalysis may make
You more so.
Analysis, indeed. finds the faults
of your character makeup but it
also finds buried assets unknown
to their possessor.
Be psyched IL you want to build
your character even stronger than
it is. Be psyched II you want to
know yourself with absolute thor
oughness.
But, be very careful that the
psychoanalyst whom you go to for
treatments is thoroughly familiar
with his job.
For to be competent in mental
analysis requires years Of expert

background. Everybody who would
like to be such psychologist IL
