"Outwitting Our Nerves: A Primer of Psychotherapy" by Josephine A. Jackson, M.D., and Helen M. Salisbury is a guidebook on psychotherapy written in the early 20th century. The text addresses the nuances of nervous disorders, exploring the psychological frameworks and therapeutic practices that can alleviate such conditions. The authors aim to demystify the causes and natures of these disorders, proposing that many individuals, regardless of how "normal" they perceive themselves to be, may carry underlying neurotic tensions. The opening of the book introduces the concept that nervousness is prevalent among most people, blurring the lines between those who may be considered "normal" and those labeled as "nervous invalids." Jackson emphasizes that everyone has the potential to experience nervousness and that it often manifests in subtle ways, with individuals frequently unaware of their own symptoms. Through engaging illustrations and insights, the authors highlight that modern psychotherapy provides concrete methods for addressing mental health issues, refuting the outdated notion that physical remedies alone can treat psychological troubles. The opening sets the stage for the subsequent exploration of the complexities of mental health and the pivotal role of self-awareness and psychological education in healing.
