Abstract
Every and every human being is continually striving to answer questions, to overcome difficulties, to solve riddles, and to develop himself in some degree toward a self-satisfying completion, the full achievement of his life purpose. Man has three great problems to solve. The first is the ambition to mix with and be accepted by others. The second problem is that of occupation, and the third that of sex. Neuroses arise from a failure in any one of these three problems, due to physical deficiencies, the spoiled child reaction, or the unwanted child reaction. Symptoms are depression, agoraphobia, marked solitude, constant striving for superiority through pettiness, and marked subjective disturbances. In the treatment it is of the greatest importance to find out what mistake has been made in the past, to show what has been to blame for the neurotic attitude to life, and to expose the connections between the attitude and the symptoms.
