(This collection brings together some of the best of Docto...)
This collection brings together some of the best of Doctor O'Connell's thinking and some descriptions of his acutely perceptive techniques. Their wide range of application to all forms of human behavior id quickly apparent. Like Adler and like Dreikurs, O'Connell thinks in broader terms than the usual mental illness-mental health dichotomy. He has something courageous and optimistic to say about all of life and its meaning. He is above all, an encourager. - Bernard H. Shulman, M. D. --- excerpt from book's Preface
