Offers an organizing idea to help both the caring community and the interested public cut through the chaos caused by so many different models. It aims to enable psychotherapy and counselling to move forward from an agreed basis of what it means to be a healthy human being, using what really works to help when things go wrong. Among other topics, they describe our natural inheritance of instinctive behaviour, explore mind/body functioning, explain why people have problems and show why some therapy approaches work and others don't.
