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.
