Medicine's science is still bound to a mechanistic, 17th century world-view. To give it up would force the physician to give up to manipulate the patient and to feel omnipotent toward him. Emotional reasons block him from doing so. Treatment mistakes are the consequence. The neglect of feelings evoked by the patient in the physician helps him to avoid to be exposed to own feelings, i.e. anxiety, hopelessness, anger. Again treatment mistakes follow. Sticking to theory and practice of alternative medical methods without having proved their efficiency prevents the physician to give up the cherished autistic undisciplined, magical thinking. Treatment mistakes ensue.
医学的科学仍受限于17世纪的机械世界观。放弃这种世界观会迫使医生放弃对患者的操控，不再觉得自己对患者无所不能。情感因素阻碍着他们这样做。这就导致了治疗失误。忽视患者在医生身上引发的情感，有助于医生避免暴露自己的情感，即焦虑、绝望、愤怒。进而又导致了治疗失误。坚持未经证实有效性的替代医学方法的理论和实践，会阻止医生放弃那种珍视的、自闭的、无纪律的、神奇的思维方式。治疗失误随之而来。
