Hynotism, including a Study of the Chief Points of Psycho-therapeutics and Occultism

Abstract

THIS book is a translation from the fourth edition of the original work. The author presents his readers with a survey of all that is most important in the whole province of hypnotism, and indeed has left little unsaid which could be of any value. An opening chapter on the history of hypnotism indicates the gradual progress of the science from the stage in which it was almost hopelessly mixed up with superstitious quackery, through periods of utter neglect on the part of the scientific world, to the era, which is even now only dawning, in which the subject is submitted to the strictest critical examination of physiologists and psychologists. The literature that has grown up round the subject is enormous, and its volume almost daily increases.

Hynotism, including a Study of the Chief Points of Psycho-therapeutics and Occultism.
