A Developmentalist’s Guide to Better Mental Health
Lois Holzman’s “The Developmentalist” advice column is the centerpiece of a provocative new Routledge title — A Developmentalist’s Guide to Better Mental Health: Navigating Everyday Life Dilemmas. Letters and responses are grouped thematically by topics such as Family Life, On the Job, What a World!, and “It’s Just Me…” They are followed by reflections by letter writers, therapists, coaches and counselors. In other chapters, Lois outlines features of a Developmentalist’s Practice, and locates the practice within the history of social therapeutics and the broader psychology and mental health arenas.
