Josephine A. (Josephine Agnes) Jackson

Josephine A. Jackson, also listed as Josephine Agnes Jackson, was an American author and physician born in 1865 and deceased in 1945. Library and authority records connect her with several major catalogs, and she is especially associated with the book Outwitting Our Nerves.

That book, written with Helen M. Salisbury, was presented as a primer of psychotherapy and aimed at ordinary readers rather than specialists. Its lasting availability through major library and public-domain collections suggests that Jackson's writing reached beyond medical circles and continued to interest readers well after its original publication.

Although easily confirmed biographical details are limited, the record that survives shows a writer with a medical background who took complex ideas about mental and emotional strain and explained them in a practical, approachable way.
