The Neurotic and the Artist
By: Rollo May
“Sickness, insanity and death were the angels that surrounded my cradle and they have followed me throughout my life.”
~ Edvard Munch
The “neurotic” or the person “suffering from character disorders” is one whose problems are so severe that he cannot solve them by living them out in the normal agencies of the culture, such as work, education, and religion.
Our patient cannot or will not adjust to the society.
