Why Therapy Isn't Working by David Smail
These four works re-issued in two volumes, form a synthesis of his theory and practise, together offering an understanding of the origins of psychological disorder and the therapy that will help or hinder it. They offer a welcome corrective for the psychology student or practitioner and an encouraging new overview for the general reader.
"'Smail writes with clarity and restraint in prose that is fittingly free from jargon.. a refreshing and instructive approach to the neurotic affictions of our culture.' - Peter Lomes, TLS"
