SC: What makes a person mentally "healthy" or "unhealthy"?

WF: Freud said a person is basically healthy if he or she can love and work effectively. By love he meant having a happy and satisfying marriage, and by work he meant having a job that is meaningful and interesting. Adler expanded the category of love to mean good interpersonal relationships, which usually, but not always, include marriage. The American psychiatrist Harry Stack Sullivan, who was never married himself, didn't believe you have to be married to be mentally healthy. However, he did believe that all psychological problems are some form of problems with interpersonal relationships.

SC: How does counseling help improve mental health?

WF: This is a question that behavioral scientists are always trying to answer. Usually a counselor helps a person understand himself or herself by providing a relationship in which the person feels safe. In this process people often discover answers and solutions to their problems themselves. Sometimes the helping person will teach the person who comes for help how to use different ways of thinking and behaving that will make things better.
