Document Summary
If not, you will not be in the position to make the decision that is best for you all we will strive for is the accurate knowledge of self: one theory: accurate self knowledge is necessary for psychological health a. therapists: it is not my job to make you feel better; it is my job to get you to understand the connection between things, to understand yourself better b. mentally healthy person: one who is capable of oneself as one actually is without distorting one"s perception to fit one"s wishes. For example, depressed people hold inaccurate negative views of oneself, world and the future. People tend to view themselves more positively than they are viewed by others, and the tendency is especially for none depressed people (depressed, 3. 4 3. 2, none depressed 4. 2 3. 6). The ability to accurately judge control of environmental events is thought to be another necessary component of mental health.
