Self-Delight in a Harsh World: The Main Stories of Individual, Marital, and Family Psychotherapy

This book is about the three kinds of plots that run the lives of patients--subservience, bureaucratic delay and overpowering. It is also about the three kinds of psychotherapy that attempt to deal with these plots: objective psychiatry, which deals with the outside surface; subjective psychiatry, which deals with the inside; and narrative psychiatry, which attempts to deal with both.
