Paul G Schauble SR.

Dr. Schauble is not your parent’s psychologist. He is not your psychologist’s psychologist either. He knows different schools of psychology and theories but he isn’t wedded to any of them. Since his area of expertise is self-hypnosis, I expected him to teach me how to hypnotize myself right off the bat. Instead, he held a mirror up and asked me, “who do you see?” I thought I understood the scientific method, but after working with him I realize there is a world of difference between knowing something and understanding it. With Dr. Schauble everything is an experiment—you try it, you see if it works, you report your findings—spectacular failures are particularly enlightening—and you try another idea. If the experiment works, you still try another idea. Some ideas are yours—some are his—you lose track of whose are whose. What you do know—is when he holds up the mirror, you can see the image much better now.
