The Importance of Distinguishing Dysfunction from Labeling
Eckhart cautions against using labels and emphasizes the need to be careful when assigning mental health diagnoses. Dysfunction exists in the ego, but it is important to recognize that many so-called pathological conditions are amplifications of normal egoic behavior.
