Neurosis and the Social Environment (PERSONALITY, PSYCHOPATHOLOGY, AND PSYCHOTHERAPY (ACADEMIC PR))

This book is an account of a field study on the epidemiology of neurosis. In day-to-day living, a person obtains from those around him - those who make up his social world- what R. S. Weiss has called "the provisions of social relationships". The authors set out to determine the effect on mental health if people are lacking in these provisions.
