Author Description

One person in every ten will receive psychiatric treatment at some point in their lives. But psychological ill health and its attendant misery is avoidable. Part of the problem is that we are conditioned to depend on outside sources for recovery. We can't make all our life experiences smooth and stress-free, but we can do something about our reaction to them, once we understand how and why we react as we do. This book provides an argued, sympathetic and wise discussion of how we can recognize our true natures and the patterns of thought and response that bring us misery, and learn to change them and so become more at ease wth ourselves and happier in our own lives. David Fontana is the author of "Your Growing Child".
