FROM THE COVER: For a number of years, Dr. Glasser, convinced of the frequent ineffectiveness of Freudian psychoanalytic procedures, has been developing a very different therapeutic approach-Reality Therapy. The requirements of Reality Therapy—an intense personal involvement, facing reality, rejecting irresponsible behavior, and learning better ways to behave—-bear little resemblance to conventional therapy and produce markedly different results. Whether the patient thinks he is Napoleon, is running berserk, or has nervous headaches, the common cause is inability to fulfill the two essential needs: to love and be loved,

FROM THE FOREWORD: THE field of counseling and psychotherapy has for years presented the puzzling spectacle of unabating enthusiasm for forms of treatment whose effectiveness could not be objectively demonstrated. With few exceptions, statistical studies have consistently failed to show that any form of psychotherapy is followed by significantly more improvement than would be caused by the mere passage of an equivalent period of time. Despite this, practitioners of various psychotherapeutic schools have remained ormly convinced that their methods are effective. The growing demand for psychotherapy is evidence that many recipients of these forms of treatment also believe that they are being helped. The series of investigations reported in this impressive book have succeeded in resolving this paradoxical state of affairs, and the consequences may be far-reaching.

From the Preface: “When, more than twenty years ago, I began to work on The Myth of Mental Illness, I unwittingly undertook an enter­prise that assumed a life of its own. My initial aim was merely to demonstrate that mental illness was fake or meta­phorical illness and that psychiatry was fake or metaphorical medicine. But there was no stopping. I followed from this that men­tal hospitalization was not the therapeutic intervention it was officially claimed to be. If involuntary, as had been typical throughout the history of psychiatry, hospitalization was ex­pulsion from society; and if voluntary, as was sometimes the modern arrangement, then it was escape from society. Ac­cordingly, I next devoted myself to an examination and expo­sition of the complex historical, linguistic, moral, and socio­logical aspects of various psychiatric ideas and interventions, many of which are characterized by an insidious and per­vasive combination of disease with deviance, illness with im­morality, cure with control, treatment with torture. The present work is an effort to complete the demytholo- gizing of psychiatry begun inThe Myth of Mental Illness….”
