The Foundations Of Personality

by Abraham Myerson

Overview

Courage is one of these systems. It is not merely the absence of fear that constitutes courage, though we interchange "fearless" with "courageous." Frequently it is the conquest of fear by the man himself that leads him to the highest courage. There is a type of courage based on the lack of imagination, the inability to see ahead the disaster that lurks around every corner. There is another type of courage based on the philosophy that to lose control of oneself is the greatest disaster. There are the nobly proud, whose conception of "ought," of "noblesse oblige," makes them the real aristocrats of the race.

About the Author

American psychiatrist Abraham Myerson (1881-1948) was a well-known figure in psychology at the beginning of the 20th century. He was born in Russia and moved to the US when he was a little child together with his family. After graduating from Harvard Medical School in 1905, Myerson chose to become a psychiatric practitioner. Myerson made major contributions to our understanding of mental health over his career, concentrating on the relationship between environment and heredity in forming personality. His seminal work "The Foundations of Personality," which was released in 1922, examined the many aspects that go into a person's development as a character. Myerson thought that in order to properly diagnose and treat psychiatric disorders, a full comprehension of these influences was essential. Myerson was interested in social activism in addition to his contributions to psychiatry. He promoted mental health reforms and emphasized the significance of taking social and environmental variables into account when addressing mental health difficulties. He was a professor at Harvard Medical School, among his other academic roles. Abraham Myerson left behind a lasting legacy because the disciplines of psychology and psychiatry still cite and value his work today.
