“I see a great danger in the revival, in a new and more sophisticated form, of the ancient habit of identifying mental health with the ability to adapt - to reality, to society, to other people. That is, an autonomous or healthy person will be considered not autonomous, living according to his intrapsychic, independent of the environment laws; not distinct from his surroundings, independent from him or opposing to him an individual, but an individual who is able, for example, to integrate into his environment, being adequate and competent in relation to him, an individual who is able to cope with tasks imposed from outside, an individual who is able, well perceiving environment, to be in good relations with him and achieve success, as the environment understands him.”
Abraham Maslow, “The Psychology of Being”
