Quotes from Dr Umeed’s class (PSY Philosophy)


Dr Umeed shared these two short poetry which was taken from Psychiatry books in our group. He even took the trouble to photostate these poetries in a piece of A4 paper. How nice of him. :)

Book 1 – “Child & Adolescent Psychiatry: Modern Approaches” edited by Michael Rutter (from Institute of London).

Dr Umeed was emphasizing that a jewish psychiatrist quotes al-Ghazali in PSY textbook. So, who is the real psychiatrist here?

He who does not doubt, does not investigate,

and he who does not investigate does not perceive,

and he who does not perceive remains in

blindness and error.

al-Ghazali (1058-1111)

Book 2 – “SYMPTOMS in the MIND: An Introduction to the Descriptive Psychopathology” 3rd Ed by Andrew Sims

Human beings are like parts of a body,

Created from the same essence.

When one part is hurt and in pain,

The others cannot remain in peace and be quiet.

If the misery of others leaves you indifferent

And with no feelings of sorrow,

You cannot be called a human being.

Sa’adi, 13th Century, Persian.
