Understanding Ourselves - Christine Corbett

Why do we do what we do? 'Understanding Ourselves' offers the lay reader insight into how people function in society. The material contained in the book draws on all of the major theories and research into psychology. It examinees all aspects of human behaviour and personal relationships including personality make-up, love, sex, marriage, adultery, pornography, divorce, family dynamics, stress, loneliness and the mid-life crisis. Dream interpretations are made. The psychological problems we experience such as neuroses and phobias are discussed. The therapies which may help are explained. The author skilfully makes psychology simple, rendering this book suitable for the ordinary person in the street. It can also be a useful introduction to the subject for anyone who may wish to study at a higher level. It offers a stimulating glimpse into why people do what they do.
