HYPNOTIC THERAPEUTICS — HYPNOTIC THERAPEUTICS INTRODUCTION The most valuable achievement of modern psychology is that it has stopped the mouths of those who alleged transcendental experiences to be the hallucinations of deranged visionaries, and formulated the inductions that the mind has a reality of its own independent of the physical order; that a noumenal world is positively as existent as the phenomenal, and is one whence perpetually issue streams of life and light and inspiration to the soul of man, whether he be conscious of the fact or not.—W. L. Wilmshurst. The most important step forward that has occurred in psychology since I have been a student of that science is the discovery that, in certain subjects at least, there is not only the consciousness of the ordinary field with its usual centre and margin, but an addition thereto in the shape of a set of memories, thoughts, and feelings which are extra- marginal and outside the primary consciousness altogether, yet able to reveal their presence by unmistakable signs. I call this the most important step forward, because, unlike the other advances which psychology has made, this discovery has revealed to us an entirely unsuspected peculiarity in the constitution of human nature. William James, LL.D., Professor of Philosophy in Harvard University. Without the spirit of research, a man lags behind the progress of knowl- edge, and his mental equipment becomes second-hand.—David Starr Jordan, President of Leland Stanford Junior University. In this enlightened age, which no longer regards the hypnotic procedure either as the plaything of science, the brand of charlatanism, or a mere ignis jatuus of addle-pates, but, fully apprehending the power of spirit over all expres- HYPNOTIC THERAPEUTICS sion through a physical organism, unquestioningly accepts psychological therapeutics as a legitimate application of the healing art, a volume on Hypno-Physics need not be introduced with an apology. It has long been known to medical science that the func- tions of the physical body and the motions of the objective mind are under the control of a higher human spiritual principle—a control which, when relaxed or unexercised, may be evoked by what is known as suggestion, along lines that are regulative and healing in the one case, and in the other nature-changing, character-building, and prodigally creative of that incorporeal force which tends to fashion man's earth-life on more exalted principles. Absorbing interest centres in an instrumentality so powerful and variform. Leaders of science are becoming conscious of a super- physical world, which men have sought to apprehend since men began to think. Psychology, which in its practical phase contemplates the development of spiritual faculty, is recognized as a study paramount. The depth and power and deathlessness of the human personality—all objects of non-sensuous intuition (noumena)—have come to be clear- ly apprehended; materialism is scouted; and sanguine ob- servers, sensing the dawn of a new epoch, see implied in the promise of things a proximate application of Emerson's " philosophy : When the Master of the universe has points to carry in His government, He impresses His will in the structure of minds"—let us interpret it, in the evolution of the spiritual consciousness of man, the logical method of improving environment and unmaking heredity. No well-informed person can be ignorant of the fact that European physicians of high principle and liberal culture have for years successfully employed hypnotic suggestion in the treatment of disease. Liebeault, one of the noblest 2 INTRODUCTION expositors of psychotherapy, and Bernheim, his pupil, have made Nancy as famous as the grotto of Lourdes.
