Items related to How To Survive Without Psychother
Synopsis
Smail's book is a radical critique of conventional psychotherapy, allowing readers to see their distress in terms of a natural response to events beyond their control. What is needed is not the will to become different, but the clarity to see through the confusion caused by the notions of morality, responsibility and change.
