The man who is nervous and knows that he is nervous, realizes that he needs help, but the man who has as yet felt no lack of stability in himself is quite likely to be impatient with that whole class of people who are liable to nervous breakdown. It is therefore well to remind ourselves at once that the line between the so-called "normal" and the nervous is an exceedingly fine one. "Nervous invalids and well people are indistinguishable both in theory and in practice,"[1] and "after all we are most of us more or less neurasthenic."[2] The fact is that everybody is a possible neurotic. ## Chapters - [Chapter 18](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/18/index.md) - [Chapter 22](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/22/index.md) - [Chapter 21](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/21/index.md) - [Chapter 23](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/23/index.md) - [Chapter 17](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/17/index.md) - [Chapter 29](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/29/index.md) - [Chapter 19](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/19/index.md) - [Chapter 27](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/27/index.md) - [Chapter 26](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/26/index.md) - [Chapter 31](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/31/index.md) - [Chapter 30](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/30/index.md) - [Chapter 15](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/15/index.md) - [Chapter 24](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/24/index.md) - [Chapter 16](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/16/index.md) - [Chapter 28](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/28/index.md) - [Chapter 25](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/25/index.md) - [Chapter 20](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/20/index.md) - [Chapter 14](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/14/index.md) - [Chapter 13](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/13/index.md) - [Chapter 2](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/2/index.md) - [Chapter 9](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/9/index.md) - [Chapter 1](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/1/index.md) - [Chapter 5](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/5/index.md) - [Chapter 4](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/4/index.md) - [Chapter 6](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/6/index.md) - [Chapter 7](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/7/index.md) - [Chapter 3](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/3/index.md) - [Chapter 10](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/10/index.md) - [Chapter 11](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/11/index.md) - [Chapter 8](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/8/index.md) - [Chapter 12](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/outwitting-our-nerves-a-primer-of-psychotherapy-14980/chapters/12/index.md)
