It is the battle of reclamation of human personality.

In the same manner, having been reduced by disorder, and sunk to their utmost state of depression, unable to descend lower, they, of necessity, reascend; and thus from good they gradually decline to evil, and from evil again return to good.

It is a collection of characteristics, or symptoms, or behaviors that have grafted on to the underlying disability.

Darold Treffert
