Abstract
Recent estimates suggest that as many as 2 out of 10 Americans may be in “serious need” of mental health services (Bryant, 1977). Each year almost 1% of our population is admitted to mental hospitals. And each year we consume several billion doses of Valium and Librium. Millions of people are addicted—to barbiturates, heroin, methadone, and alcohol. Psychosomatic disease is endemic. We are a people sorely troubled, desperately looking for some answer to our problems or at least some relief from them.
