It is argued that healthy personality is potentially as identifiable a pattern as is any diagnostic category and is not equivalent simply to "normality." In moving toward a theory of psychological health one needs to examine structure and dynamics with respect to the functions of instigation, regulation, meaning, and style. Psychoanalytic theory is taken as a point-of-departure. Viewed as a theory of neurosis, psychoanalysis does not provide an adequate treatment of ego-constructive functions, components of the superego (aside from conscience in a negative sense), or human motivation. Humanistic theory helps by focussing on health, although it falls short with regard to motivation. The essential properties of healthy humanness emerge as integration among the structures of personality and progression in the dynamics of personality functioning. Four major pathways in development are outlined to highlight how health differs from other patterns.
有人认为，健康人格可能是一种与任何诊断类别一样可识别的模式，并不简单等同于“正常”。在构建心理健康理论的过程中，人们需要从激发、调节、意义和风格等功能方面来审视结构和动力。精神分析理论被作为出发点。从神经症理论的角度来看，精神分析并没有充分探讨自我建构功能、超我成分（除了消极意义上的良知）或人类动机。人本主义理论通过关注健康起到了一定作用，尽管在动机方面有所欠缺。健康人性的本质特征表现为个性结构之间的整合以及个性功能动力方面的发展。文中概述了发展的四条主要途径，以突出健康与其他模式的不同之处。
