In his first new book in ten years, David Shapiro extends the stubbornly intuitive clinical vision that informed his phenomenally successful Neurotic Styles to probe the psychopathological. Emphasizing self-regulatory process over biological event, Shapiro's philosophy of mind goes against the current - but with authority . . . not to mention a built-in audience.
As a lay reader in the fields of psychology, I can only say that Shapiro presents a model of behaviour dynamics that is not only a vast improvement over neurochemical models, but is not at all inconsistent with them. The proposals are articulate, concise, and immediately proven through observation's new perspective. Anyone looking at the causes of neurosis, psychosis, or any mental illness should read this.
