Dr. Maltz made his groundbreaking discovery when he realized his patients expected to feel happy after he gave them perfect new faces. However, it was the inner scars that still needed attention. Cosmetic surgery could not cure feelings of unhappiness, worthlessness, and insecurity. Dr. Maltz suggested that many people "see themselves" inaccurately, their perceptions distorted by unchallenged and often erroneous beliefs embedded in their subconscious minds. After counseling hundreds of patients with his evolving "success conditioning techniques," Dr. Maltz published his findings, in 1960, in the original Psycho-Cybernetics.
