Excerpt from Functional Nervous Disorders in Childhood Disorders It depicts a philosopher in the act of introducing a frightened boy to a hideous hag with cloven hoofs, barbed tail, and snake-like hair, and it seems to represent the Platonic method of testing children's courage by exposing them to witchcraft. I may at once disclaim all pretensions to scientific treatment of my subject. The lectures were not didactic when delivered, nor are they ex cathedra, now, they were intended to promote discussion and to excite interest in the medical aspect of the twentieth century neurotic child. That they succeeded in this respect is no tribute to their merits. A better book than this would have resulted, had it been possible to include therein the discussions which the lectures raised, and the valuable personal experiences and views of those who spoke upon them. But as this could not be, I can but trust that those who will read them, like those who listened to them, may find food for thought as well as criticism in these pages.
