But he faced down the hatred of most of the profession because in the workplace, classroom, therapist's office and all around him, he turned the social system upside down.
He cared about each person but not about the institutions. He did not care about appearances, roles, class, credentials or positions, and he doubted every authority, including his own.
His immense power came from the fact that once he discovered something, he followed it through. He saw no reason to limit it by all those irrelevancies that stop most people. So he was able to launch practices that revolutionized the field.
