About this book
This book asserts that present theories and procedures for dealing with "mental illness" not only fail to cure patients in many cases, but often actually aggravate the presenting problem. It is not a diatribe, but a carefully reasoned argument citing hundreds of research studies and articles from professional pbulications. Stuart indicts our present systems for diagnosing and classifying mental disturbances, and our procedures for institutionalizing patients. Specific treatment methods are criticized, and case histories are cited. The author suggests that operant conditioning and related methodologies hold the greatest promise for the future.
