Historical issues in mental health. "Mental health is an individual and personal matter. It involves a living human organism or, more precisely, the condition of an individual human mind. A social environment or culture may be conducive either to sickness or health, but the quality produced is characteristic only of a person; therefore, it is improper to speak of a "sick society" or a "sick community." In speaking of a person's mental health, it is advisable to distinguish between attributes and actions. The individual may be classified as more or less healthy in a long-term view of his behavior or, in other words, according to his enduring attributes. Or, his actions may be regarded as more or less healthy--that is, appropriate--from the viewpoint of single, immediate, short-term situation. Standards of mentally healthy, or normal, behavior vary with the time, place, culture, and expectations of the social group. In short, different peoples have different standards. Mental health is one of many human values; it should not be regarded as the ultimate good in itself. No completely acceptable, all-inclusive concept exists for physical health or physical illness, and, likewise, none exists for mental health or mental illness. A national program against mental illness and for mental health does not depend on acceptance of a single definition and need not await it. Many scientific investigators have thought about the psychological content of positive mental health. A review of their contributions reveals six major approaches to the subject: a. Attitudes of the individual toward himself; b. Degree to which person realizes his potentialities through action; c. Unification of function in the individual's personality; d. Individual's degree of independence of social influences; e. How the individual sees the world around him; and f. Ability to take life as it comes and master it. One value in American culture compatible with most approaches to a definition of positive mental health appears to be this: An individual should be able to stand on his own two feet without making undue demands or impositions on others. The need for more intensive scientific research in mental health is underscored"--Book.

What are psychologists going to do about disability in the latter half of the twentieth century? We are already committed to grapple with mental disturbance and mental defect; but, until recently, few of us recognized that physical disability also involves problems of learning, of motivation, and of perception. Research on the psychological problems of persons with disabilities, and research on methods for their prevention and treatment is as significant and necessary as research on the origins and treatment of the behavior disorders. For society, the training of psychologists for work in rehabilitation is as important as training clinical psychologists to work in the traditional mental health areas. For psychology, the study of physical disability is certainly coordinate in both significance and need with the study of the mentally disordered. This book is more than a skillfully edited "proceedings" of the Princeton Institute. Dr. B. Wright has received nation-wide attention for her theoretical and research contributions to the psychology of the disabled. In her hands, the proceedings of the Institute have been turned into a document which succeeds in relating psychology and psychologists to a vast rehabilitation movement in which psychologists are just one necessary segment.
