“It is universally acknowledged that human existence revolves around three basic laws-the inevitability of change, the importance of perception over reality, and the resurrection inherent in hope. This book mainly carries these undercurrent themes while emphasising the inescapable role played by inter personal communication in bringing relief and happiness to troubled minds.

The book delves deep into the mass of research that have been done and the theories around the various kinds of aberration of individual personality traits and the therapies which provide relief and bring back mental equilibrium and presents these in a form of compendium, which can be used as a reference book for practitioners, students in counseling and psychiatry and all the others who are interested in healing fevered minds, especially without medication but with only a one-to-one form of meetings.

We in India are no strangers to the effect of counseling, when our oldest known mythological epic `Mahabharata\' contains the Baghwat Gita which has become a global model in counseling at times of one\'s greatest depression. The book lays great store on this aspect of counseling and hope it fulfils a greatly felt need.”(jacket)
