“Mental health cannot be defined in terms of the adjustment of the individual to society, but on the contrary, it must be defined in terms of the adjustment of society to the needs of human beings…
Whether or not an individual is healthy is primarily not an individual matter, but it depends on the structure of the society. A healthy society furthers human beings’ capacity to love their fellow human beings, to work creatively, to develop their reason and objectivity, and to have a sense of self that is based on the experience of their own productive powers.”
– Erich Fromm
