T. Byram Karasu, M.D.:
"...Interestingly enough, these theories of mind do not always address the complex problems of daily practice. Many renowned thinkers have elegant, complex, and highly elaborate theories that ostensibly attempt to explain the human mind and its operating principles as well as strive for relevance in the clinical setting. Yet, as R. Michels says, the information, knowledge, and wisdom that a practitioner needs largely exist underground, transmitted through supervision, case conferences, and collegial agreement as a kind of professional folklore. Such folklore of practice is not completely unrelated to the theories of mind; in fact, it often uses the same terms and theories. But it has no cohesive conceptual base of its own, and when cornered, quickly falls back to the already reified theories of mind. Since these are often overrated and inherently limited in actual application to the patient, the gap between theory and practice remains..."
