The Law of Psychic Phenomena - A Working Hypothesis for the Study of Hypnotism, Spiritism, Mental Theraputics - Paperback

by Thomson Jay Hudson (Author)

Originally published in 1892. My primary object in offering it to the public is to assist in bringing Psychology within the domain of the exact sciences. That this has never been accomplished is owing to the fact that no successful attempt has been made to formulate a working hypothesis sufficiently comprehensive to embrace all psychic phenomena. It has, however, long been felt by the ablest thinkers of our time that all psychic manifestations of the human intellect, normal or abnormal, whether designated by the name of mesmerism, hypnotism, somnabulism, trance, spiritism, demonology, miracle, mental therapeutics, genius, or insanity, are in some way related....... Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
