Traditional forms of psychotherapy have dealt with helping the client change in order to better cope with society. This speech suggests that another form of psychotherapy would encourage the therapist to work to change society. The author contends that since social conditions are often the cause of psychosis, social conditions ought to be the basis for some alternative forms of psychotherapy. He proposes that therapists see themselves as agents of change in a society which is dehumanizing and distructive of self, joy and responsible satisfaction. He identifies new personality problems produced by modern society and describes the modern well-adjusted personality. He also describes an agency which he developed in which concerned individuals devote their careers just to humanizing themselves and second, to initiating projects and approaches which would direct their own disciplines toward humanizing societies and institutions.
