The author's premise is that "most of us are capable of managing
our own lives and making appropriate decisions" if we have proper
information and encouragement. Doctor McAllister ably meets the
task of providing both. His work clarifies how feelings originate
and the role they play in daily life. Emotional responses are
presented not as observed by others but as experienced within the
individual. These moving forces of behavior are examined in
separate chapters dealing with the child, the adolescent, the
adult, and the elder. Case studies bring life to the text and are
presented with sensitivity, honesty, and compassion. The book
includes an insightful critique of the current state of therapy
with thought-provoking comments clarifying issues relating to
therapy and spirituality. Doctor McAllister writes in a welcoming
and simple manner about complex issues which are of interest to
everyone. This is not a self-help book; he presents no slogans, no
lists, no promises. But it is a book which will give readers an
understanding of "the driving forces of human nature." It is a
treasure chest of information about emotional responses "for all
seasons" from birth to death. The "mystery" of emotional life is
dispelled by knowledge, and the "madness" of emotions is dispelled
by timely treatment. The author has provided a book which moves
both remedies forward.
