COUNSELLING
has been a part of everyday life for most people
in the western world where even a psychoanalyst
with a flourishing business has his own shrink to
whom he can turn to when he is suffering from the
moody blues. Nobody laughs or denigrates his
mental weakness. For him visiting a
psychiatrist is as natural as going to a
neighbourhood doctor when he is down with viral
fever. Development, progress and education have
brought about changes in lifestyle patterns.
Spending levels have increased and so have
awareness levels.
