"INFERIORITY COMPLEXES”
ADDRESS BY MAYOR An address on ‘ Inferiority Complexes ’ was delivered by the mayor (Rev. E. T. Cox) to the Dunedin Practical Psychology Club. Mr Cox gave illustrations of various inferiority complexes, showing how they influenced conduct and detrimentally; affected the personality. The weaknesses of childhood and the inferiority complexes developed as a result of these, should not be regarded as permanent hindrances to the full development of the personality. Striking illustrations of the mastery, of such complexes were given in the lives of such varied personages as Demosthenes, Theodore Rosevelt, and Sandow. The first step towards correcting one * disabilities was self-knowledge. A person should review his past history, beginning with his earliest recollections, and find what had influenced him detrimentally. The discovery of the cause was a great help in mastering one’s difficulties.
