About the Author
Robin Skynner qualified in medicine at University College Hospital, London. He has been a pioneer in group and family techniques of treatment and one of the founders of both the Institute of Group Analysis and Institute of Family Therapy (London).
From Publishers Weekly
If all pop psychology-self-help books were as sprightly and insightful as this, they would corner the market. Psychiatrist Skynner and humorist Cleese of Monty Python fame last collaborated on Families and How to Survive Them. Here, they return to the topic of family, then move beyond. Cleese, a former patient of Skynner's, confines himself largely to the role of straight man in their dialogue, although he, too, offers insights. Together they expand the idea of the healthy individual raised in a healthy family becoming a contributor to a healthy society. Particularly relevant is their astute analysis of our society's attitudes toward directness, money, celebrity and winning. The authors go on to discuss values, religion, death and change, all with an ingratiating lack of dogmatism. Cartoonist Handelsman has encapsulated the ideas in apt and witty illustrations.

Paperback. Condition: Good. The follow-on of the authors' "Families and How to Survive Them", this book develops the ideas put forward in the earlier book. Beginning by looking at exceptionally healthy families and their comparison with ordinary and disordered families, they examine organizations outside families - businesses, schools, hospitals. Are some healthier than others? Is the American way better than the Japanese? How can individuality be retained while co-operating in joint endeavours? The book also looks at value systems and religions; and at change, looking along the way at humour in relation to health, at competition and sportmanship, at death - the prototype of all change. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Seller Inventory # GOR002636899
