So, I must begin with a statement, which because of its simplicity is difficult to make cleanly: Father Lynch is genuinely devoted to our calling. In fact, I suspect he is more devoted than many of its practitioners who tend, understandably, to be more quickly discouraged by its deficiencies. In these days of fashionable get-togethers between religion and psychiatry, I am impelled to add that he has no wish to proselytize or be proselytized. In other words, he is the rarest of human beings—the outsider who can speak as a friend.” —\u003ci\u003eAmerican Journal of Psychiatry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003ci\u003eImages of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e, issued out of a harrowing personal experience of severe mental breakdown, [is] still a classic in the field of psychological healing.
