Here's another author who thinks that the English language isn't sufficient to get his points across, so he talks in formulas. I A + Ob + H + S + Mar. That's the important one here. Translated: Inferiority generates Anxiety plus Obsession with Self plus mirage of Hostility plus mirage of Superiority plus Martyring. The ""H factor"" versus the rest of life: premenstrual tension from hormonal swings? Nope. From ""Suppressed H."" Impotence? Homosexuality? Premature ejaculation? Heart attack? High blood pressure? Adolescent rebellion? Miserable marriages? Drug addiction? That ol' demon ""Suppressed H."" Planted there by. . . your parents. Oh, well, why not. They haven't been blamed for much in selfhelp literature lately. It's probably their turn.
