Review
This remarkble humanistic talk by an outstanding doctor contains a treasure of information about these problems, and practical advice concerning their control. It distills the observations and experience of Dr. H.J. Roberts, whom the editors of a national publication selected as "The Best Doctor in the U.S.", coupled with much "wisdom of the ages." These valuable insights could have considerable benefit both for individuals so afflicted, and for those who deal with them. This guide minimizes "medicalese" and psychiatric jargon, and can assist trusted nonprofessional confidants to whom persons turn for guidance when confronted by the barrage of challenges, disappointments and conflicts in our increasingly complex society.
