Normality: Theoretical and Clinical Concepts of Mental Health

by Daniel Offer, Melvin Sabshin

The authors competently survey literature bearing on mental health, drawing upon writings in the fields of medical psychiatry, psychology, social sciences, and biology, and they supplement this with ethical and esthetic concepts of the good and the ideal. If psychotherapists in training have limited time for study, this book will serve them well as an introduction to the area.
