| Summary: | This is the second of three articles investigating the sociological factors involved in "nervousness." In the present paper certain phases of a technique for the social re-educational treatment of all cases of character disorganization or incipient disorganization, "normal" as well as "nervous," are suggested. 1. Analysis of the clientèle of a modern medical specialist reveals the fact that such a physician has to a great extent assumed the functions of the traditional minister or priest. Many of his cases are characteristically moral and mental in nature. 2. Six case-studies herein included, in whole or in part as made by the writer when associated with a specialist in gastro-intestinal diseases, are offered as illustratory data. These also indicate the development of a sociological technique of analysis and re-education for such cases. 3. The fundamental cause of the conflict underlying "nervousness" is analyzed and suggested as a basis for the classification of cases of actual and incipient personal disorganization with a view toward the development of a systematic technique for the treatment of all such typical cases. |
