Abstract: 'The purpose I have had in mind in writing this book has been to give an accurate picture of the neurotic person who lives among us, with the conflicts which actually move him, with his anxieties, his suffering and the many difficulties he has in his relations with others as well as with himself. I...have concentrated on the character structure which recurs in nearly all neurotic persons of our time in one or another form.'
