The Vital Balance: The Life Process in Mental Health

Widely acknowledged as a basic work, The Vital Balance offers a new, unitary concept of mental health and illness which dispenses with the old confusing labels and substitutes a method of diagnosis and treatment in which all disturbed states of the mind and the emotions are seen as stages in a single process. It marks the culmination of a complete revolution in the outlook of psychiatry - from helpless resignation to active hope and assurance. --- from book's back cover
