ABSTRACT
In his celebrated response to an inquiry about the benefits of psychological adjustment, Sigmund Freud noted just two things that a well-adjusted person should be able to do well: loving and working. Freud seemed to have expected that others already understood and agreed that success in work or success in love might be common accomplishments, even if difficult to achieve, but that the combination of successful work and successful love was an exceedingly lofty and difficult goal. That was a lot to communicate in three words, so we can hardly complain that the father of psychotherapy did not also say in the same answer just how mental health alone could secure simultaneous success in both love and work.
