Growing Up Sane: Understanding the Conditioned Mind

by Terrence Webster-Doyle

Are we driving ourselves crazy trying to be sane? Growing Up Sane is concerned with bringing about a sense of order and integrity in thinking and action through creating insight into what cultivates intelligent and ethical behavior. Webster-Doyle looks at our relationships and the social institutions we have produced that mold behavior to see what influence these structures have had on the development of the young person. Going beyond these structures, this book examines the Myth of the Individual, delving into the roots of our disorder to look at the fundamental source of conflict—the paradoxical "knot"—within the psyche itself.

This book is not only for the parent or teacher concerned with the education of the young person, but is also for anyone seriously interested in understanding what it means to live a sane and intelligent life.
