HISTORICAL CONTEXT Psychotherapy at its inception: The foundations of psychotherapy had been beginning to be built, mainly in Europe, by the beginning of twentieth century. The psychoanalytic concept of Sigmund Freud, based on the unconscious mind, buried memories along with unsolved conflicts had gained popularity. The concept that emotional and mental disturbances may also be treated via talking and introspective processes was innovative and a radical departure from earlier, much more physical methods of treatment. Medical Understanding is transforming: Numerous conditions which we today classify as psychological or psychiatry were frequently misunderstoomed before this era.

The early 20th century witnessed a shift toward viewing these conditions as intricate interplays of body and mind, instead of exclusively as physical ailments. Mental Health as well as Female's Roles: Women's roles were going through substantial transformation during this period. The suffrage movement had started spreading around the world with women starting to assert their rights and also rethink their positions within society. The redefinition posed difficulties and strains which occasionally showed themselves as "nervous disorders." These social changes can be reflected in literature and works like "Outwitting Our Nerves" as a reaction as well as reflection to these changes.
