Going Sane is a report of the experience of the authors and their associates at the Center for Feeling Therapy in California. The authors' overall thesis about the prevailing condition of personality in societies past and present is the proposition is that the healthy state of the person is that of the child before it has learned to mask and overlay its feelings with learned patterns of meaning, and thus to substitute ideas for 'natural' feelings. The authors do point out that "we do not believe that feeling therapy is or ever will be for everyone ... to us it seems desirable that there be hundreds of different therapies."
