Several months ago I read in William Schaberg's "Writing The Big Book" (pg. 139) what Dr Silkworth had meant, and also examined in detail, what moral psychology is. Moral psychology is mentioned only once in our book, pg. xxvii, (forth edition) and I often pondered what Dr Silkworth meant. For amplification?I also read Silkworth's 1937 paper "Reclamation of the Alcoholic"??(2 years before the Big Book was published!). I found the paper dry and too clinical but my imagination was fired!. Had I been one of? New York's' atheists or agnostics members in early AA,?I would have shouted this theory of how to recover from the roof tops! Especially to all who had problems with the spirituality of the program. I think Hank Parkhurst may have, but is there any source of information that points to this speculation?
