First published in 1935, The Psychology of Everyman: Nerves and the Masses was written as a short and simple treatise on ‘Functional Nerve Disease’ for doctors in general practice. The main object of the book was to enable the busy Practitioner to recognise psychological conditions and to treat them confidently along lines that they could understand. With focus at the time only on the physical symptoms of illness, it was making an important point to doctors that they must realise the psychological state should also get due attention. Very much of its time, today it can be read in its historical context. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1935. The language used and the views portrayed are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.

First published in 1931, the underlying assumption of The Will to Live is that of a psychological evolution in which mind is regarded not merely as developing in association with nervous and cerebral development, but as being itself the most important factor in the process. It is this assumption which gives meaning to the title that has been chosen for the book. It brings themes like is psychology a science; impulse and growth; the rise of consciousness; the three main lines of instinct; the variability of habit; development of intelligence; thought as judgment and reflection; the critical faculty; simple and complex emotions; ideals and idealization; voluntary activity; sex and conflict; and buried complexes and dreams. This is an interesting historical document for the students of psychology.
