Description

“Belief in a Supreme Being makes for a different mental state”

Glossy 5 x 7 photo of Menninger in his office, signed vertically in black ballpoint, “Karl Menninger, Topeka, Kans. 9-4-87”; and a TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Menninger Foundation letterhead, May 15, 1985. In part: “Your question about the help of a belief in God in overcoming problems is a little puzzling to me. What problems do you think people want to overcome? Do you mean hunger or envy or ignorance? I can’t imagine a situation in which the help of a supreme being makes no difference. Belief in a Supreme Being makes for a different mental state.” In overall fine condition. RR Auction COA.
