I've just been having a bit of a read about him. It is interesting stuff. Although it wasn't explicitly mentioned, I couldn't help but think about the Catholic concept of confession (plus the way I sometimes deal with this site). That only seems to be a partial step, though, and I like Mowrer's more expansive answer. It also reminds me of a quote of Henri-Frédéric Amiel (which I often used as justifying my position).
"Truth above all, even when it upsets us and overwhelms us."
I would like a couple of weeks in Mowrer-World to see what it may be like. Although one question, I guess, is whether ad-men have a conscience and so would gradually adapt or fall into depression. Or whether they don't have one.
is it normal for people to front all the time?
