García Universidad Católica “Nuestra Señora de la Asunción” Nota del autor Facultad de Filosofía y Ciencias Humanas, Departamento de Psicología [email protected], Casilla de Correo 1839, Asunción, Paraguay Resumen Entre la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII y la primera del siglo XIX se difundieron en algunas naciones europeas, principalmente en Alemania, Austria y Francia, tres orientaciones psicológicas que albergaron la pretensión de impulsar acercamientos innovadores al estudio y tratamiento de una importante gama de problemas del comportamiento y la personalidad humana: el mesmerismo, la fisiognomía y la craneometria o frenología. Sus principales referentes históricos, Franz Anton Mesmer, Johann Caspar Lavater y Franz Joseph Gall, disfrutaron de la popularidad y el éxito, pero al mismo tiempo arrastraron fuertes críticas y cosecharon inflamados detractores. Algunas de estas prácticas, como la frenología, subsistieron hasta bien entrado el siglo XX, para luego decaer en su atractivoe influencia social. Sin embargo, la evolución propia de cada una condujo al desarrollo de nuevos campos de investigación.

Prof. Dr. İlker Aytürk December 2019 Spiritism, established by Allan Kardec claims to study an immaterial world through scientific methods, proposes a doctrine of reincarnation and derives knowledge from communication with spirits. In contrast to its depiction in popular culture invoking scary and ominous imagery, communication with spirits was a serious venture for spiritists. This thesis examines Turkish spiritism, spearheaded by Bedri Ruhselman, between 1936 and 1969 in an effort to reveal why a group of intellectuals were interested in a supernatural and transcendental practice such as spiritism. To answer this question, the study examines the history of spiritism in Turkey and provides an in- depth analysis of its spiritist, scientific and moral teachings.

  • Mesmer on Animal Magnetism
    History of Psychology: Mesmer on Animal Magnetism http://web.archive.org/web/20040710162753/http://www.unbf.ca/psycho... Propositions Concerning Animal Magnetism, by Anton Mesmer, 1779 [ 1] [Sir Thomas Browne complained in the middle of the 17th century that "Quacksalvers and charlatans deceive the people." [ 2] Quacks are still among us, but sometime in the 18th century they changed their sales pitch. Anton Mesmer was among the most famous to offer a cure that sounded like new physical science but which leading scientists investigated and rejected. When Mesmer finally closed his elegant clinic in Paris, he was able to afford a small but comfortable estate in the country, to which he quietly retired. Potential buyers, and sellers, too, of any sort of new therapy might wish to know how he recruited so many paying clients. - dgl ] 1. A responsive influence exists between the heavenly bodies, the earth, and animated bodies. 2. A fluid universally diffused, so continuous as not to admit of a vacuum, incomparably subtle, and naturally susceptible of receiving, propagating, and communicating all motor disturbances, is the means of this influence. 3. This reciprocal action is subject to mechanical laws, with which we are not as yet acquainted. 4. Alternative effects result from this action, which may be considered to be a flux and reflux. 5. This reflux is more or less general, more or less special, more or less compound, according to the nature of the causes which determine it. 6. It is by this action, the most universal which occurs in nature, that the exercise of active relations takes place between the heavenly bodies, the earth, and its constituent parts.
