This man speaks with a powerful voice and is capable of moving many people. He is not afraid to integrate emotion with intellect and experience. It is something many psychiatrists could benefit from learning to do as well. It is being 'aloof' which allows people to objectify others and treat them as if they were less than human.

thanks for the clarity
