Ebook Spiritual Director and Physician, the Spiritual Treatment of Sufferers From Nerves and Scruples

Le Guide des Nerveux et des Scrupuleux. The title should secure success to this work - a work of actual interest, a valuable work. It is the result of experience, and this is not its least important quality. When I first met Father Raymond in Germany, he was in a most critical state of neurosis, and is consequently well able to understand the physical and moral torture which fills with despair those unfortunate people who are so affected. As soon as he had recovered, his charity impelled him to offer a helping hand to the same class of patients, whom he calls his dear friends, by pointing out to them the system they should follow in order to counteract the evil at its source.

Father Raymond was well equipped for his work, inasmuch as he speaks several languages, and in an experience of fifteen years he has been called upon to receive the confidence of thousands of nervous patients coming from various parts of the globe to Wœrishofen, which owes its celebrity to the name and work of Father Kneipp.
