"Our Nervous Friends — Illustrating the Mastery of Nervousness" by Robert S. Carroll, M.D. is a psychological exploration written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the complexities of human nervousness and the various afflictions associated with it, illustrated through the lives of different characters, including mothers and children facing the consequences of societal and familial pressures. At the start of the work, Ethel Baxter Lord, a mother characterized by grace and sensibility, is introduced alongside her son, Dick. The narrative sets a tranquil scene as Ethel embraces her role in fostering joy in her child’s life amidst her own history of family tragedies, which have shaped her character. The chapter emphasizes the influence that parental attitudes and experiences have on child development, showcasing the lasting impacts of nervous afflictions and emotional responses. The beginning intricately weaves Ethel’s early life with the challenges surrounding motherhood, hinting at broader themes of emotional well-being and its connection to the mastery of one's nervous system.
