This book is directly aimed at sufferers of mental distress. The
book's aim is to remove from sufferers the burden of 'fault' for
their pain and to demystify some of the practices that surround the
'treatment' of mental illness. It is not exactly a self-help book
because it is a false claim of any 'treatment' of mental illness
that 'cure' can be brought about by exercise of will. Much of what
causes mental distress is lack of power and resource, outside the
control of the sufferer. Surviving without psychotherapy involves
the appreciation of several things. First, the limited nature of
therapeutic assistance - whilst clarification and support may help
the sufferer understand his/her predicament and encourage the use
of what resources the sufferer has, therapy cannot change the
distal root causes of distress. Second, that only socio-political
solutions can address some of the most powerful causes of distress,
e.g., redundancy, housing and poverty. In sounding a cautionary
note about psychoanalysis, Smail observes that mental distress is
far more about money than sex.
