Dr. Maltz was one of the world most widely known and highly regarded plastic surgeon when he wrote Psyco Cybernetics. It's fair to say that from then on he became even more famous for his contribution to man's ability to know himself better and to change himself for the better throw what he called 'Self Image Psychology.' Dr. Maltz came to his understanding on the importance of the power of Self Image through his practices as plastic surgeon. He found that many people who really didn't needed plastic surgery wanted the operation in order to portray an image to the world. It became apparent to him, that the real problem with his patients wasn't their outward physical image but their inner self-image. In fact in some cases they were unhappy or unsuccessful because their self-image was actually compelling them to make mistakes and complicate their lives. This patients hoped that changing their outward images would make them happy and in some cases it did. But there were a number of patients who underwent surgery were very disappointed that their life wasn't suddenly transformed in some way. It was that patients who changed their self-image at the same time that Dr. Malz was changing their outer image who had the most positive result. Obviously for some, the change in physical features was important and was the stimulus needed to change their self-image, but for others it was simply the change in self-image that was needed and it could have been accomplished without a physical surgery. If only the patient would have understood how important self-image is and that he could have changed his self-image himself. It was for these patients and for all those who wanted to improve their lives, that Dr. Maltz developed the system of metal exercises and techniques that he called Self Image Psychology. These titles are the recordings of some of his presentations. LISTEN TO DR. MALZ HIMSELF EXPLAINING THESE CONCEPTS!
