Summary:Imagine a society whose citizens are protected from psychological disorders. This final episode visits several programs that are attempting to eliminate known risk factors -- including social isolation and inadequate parenting skills -- that often lead to serious disorders. The stories are touching; the results are promising. About the Series: See how people with diagnosed psychological disorders actually behave. Case studies, enriched with commentary from experts, help demystify the biological, psychological, and environmental causes of dysfunctional behavior. The series explores current theory and practice in the treatment of the mentally ill, covering the multiple approaches that prevail in the field today. This series is also valuable for teachers seeking to review the subject matter. Produced by Alvin H. Perlmutter, Inc., and Toby Levine Communications. 1992.
