DeepDyve eBooks - Psycho-therapeutics, or, treatment by hypnotism and suggestion.

Chapter I.

Tuckey, C. Lloyd

Pages: 1 –7

It is desirable to clearly set forth the genesis of the present revival of psychotherapeutics, lest, as sometimes happens, unassuming merit be deprived of the honour due to it, and other claims arise to obscure those of the real founders of the system. Perhaps the most unfounded claim is that of...

Chapter II.

Tuckey, C. Lloyd

Pages: 8 –29

All who have given any attention to the subject of "treatment by suggestion" acknowledge what immense power the mind—acting in conjunction with or apart from the will—has over the body, forcing it at times to unusual or even extraordinary effort. This chapter examines the following topics:...

Chapter III.

Tuckey, C. Lloyd

Pages: 30 –41

I have endeavoured to show how much the imagination (in its widest sense) may have to do with the health of mind and body; and I shall now try to point out that the effects of "directed consciousness" are greatly increased under certain conditions, when the mind is so withdrawn from the...

Chapter IV.

Tuckey, C. Lloyd

Pages: 42 –56

I hope to have shown in the preceding chapters that Dr. Liébeault's system is the outcome of the collection and classification of many isolated facts previously neglected or misunderstood. That cures have been and still are worked by such means as are implied in faith-healing, the mind-cure,...

Chapter VI.

Tuckey, C. Lloyd

Pages: 107 –126

The study of hypnotism will doubtless do much to advance our knowledge of the higher brain functions, and it is well to bear in mind that, as the phenomena depend upon an induced psychical condition, they may not be explainable by any physiological method which we at present possess. Charcot,...

Chapter VII.

Tuckey, C. Lloyd

Pages: 127 –178

Chapter VIII.

Tuckey, C. Lloyd

Pages: 179 –192

I propose in the following chapter to consider briefly the subject of inhibition, as it seems to me to be the key to the proper comprehension of hypnotic phenomena. This chapter examines the following specific topics: Inhibition; Definition; Dynamogenesis; Theories of Brown- Séquard; Lauder...

Chapter IX.

Tuckey, C. Lloyd

Pages: 193 –221

In the foregoing pages I have endeavoured to show that the hypnotic state has many analogies in ordinary life, and that it is not so much the creation of a new condition as the exaggeration of normal or partially normal ones.
