Product Description

Review

"'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"

Product Description

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.
