Horizon - man and science today.
G.M. Carstairs, President of the World Federation of Mental Health looks at "Man in Search of Himself".

We grow up with the attitude that happiness should be ours by right and when we don't get it we feel personally singled out for ill-treatment. Our cry of anguish is "Why does this happen to me and why are all the others getting this bliss?" But are they?

A personal view by an eminent social psychiatrist of the pleasures and problems of life in Britain in 1968 in comparison with a very different culture he knows intimately - Hindu village life in Northern India.
He looks at some of our deeply rooted beliefs and how they affect our behaviour towards among other things, bereavement, sex, happiness and old-age; and at some of our growing social problems such as the rapidly increasing phenomenon of attempted suicide.
