Neurotic Behavior and Self-Defeating Patterns in Modern Psychiatry
Psychiatrist James H. Gilfoil describes neurosis as self-defeating patterns that hinder goals. He notes most people are neurotic to some degree and explains how understanding the neurotic process can lead to healthier behavior and better relationships. He cites examples with a wife angry at her golf-loving husband, a man punishing his wife for sexual disinterest, and a teenager refusing group therapy. He emphasizes personal responsibility and the role of upbringing in shaping neurotic traits.
