Towards a Better Model

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.
