Psychography, or the Embodiment of Thought: With an Analysis of Phreno-Magnetism, "Neurology," and Mental Hallucination, Including Rules to Govern and Produce the Magnetic State (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the fascinating world of animal magnetism, a practice that captivated the minds of intellectuals in the 19th century. The author, a medical doctor, presents his own research and experiments, offering insights into the relationship between the mind and the body, particularly through the practice of mesmerism. The book delves into the controversial topic of "Phreno-Magnetism," where the author, drawing on the principles of Phrenology, asserts that the operator can excite specific faculties of the mind in the recipient by touching different areas of the skull. His argument goes further, suggesting that the brain itself is a complex organ, with a myriad of functions beyond what was understood at the time. He also explores the potential of mesmerism for healing, presenting intriguing case studies and practical techniques for inducing a mesmerized state. Through compelling evidence and insightful analysis, the book offers a glimpse into the scientific and philosophical debates surrounding mesmerism and its potential applications in the early 19th century. The author's detailed exploration of the field, coupled with his firsthand accounts of experiments and observations, provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine, psychology, and the pursuit of understanding the human mind and its mysteries.
