Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are at least two reasons for writing on psychotherapeutics, which seem to me to appeal yet more forcibly to the medical profession; and they are certainly the two reasons that have induced me to write this book. It appears to me that all who have the progress of medicine at heart, and whose eyes are not altogether blinded by the glittering achievements of science, must feel, as I do, both annoyed and ashamed at the double spectacle of the rampant progress of quackery and the impotent futility of our opposition to it. In Chapter X I have quoted the latest utterance (by Dr. Hutchison at the London Hospital) on the subject. Let those who think' impotent futility' too strong language read that address for themselves; while those who would measure the amount of annoyance the present position of quackery causes to thoughtful minds should study Sir James Paget's letter with which my last appeal ('The Force of Mind') on this subject opens. As to the remedy I suggest, those must judge of its efficacy who have patience enough to read this book; but I maintain that, whatever opinions may be held of the value of the cure, there can be no doubt as to the urgency of the case. One last point I should like to urge. Once it is decided that there is a power for good in unconscious therapeutics (and really I think few are hardy enough to deny it), is it not clear that no medical training can be complete that does not teach it? In the last chapter, under seven heads, I have shown how wide is the scope, and how great the interest, of the subject, and throughout the book I have urged its being systematically taught.

Download or read book Psychoanalysis in Britain 1893 1913 written by Philip Kuhn and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians and biographers of psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, psychology, medicine and culture, even Wikipedia, believe Ernest Jones discovered Freud in 1904 and had become the first English-speaking practitioner of psychoanalysis by 1906. Psychoanalysis in Britain, 1893–1913 offers radically different versions to that monolithic Account propagated by Jones over 70 years ago. Detailed readings of the contemporaneous literature expose the absurdities of Jones’s claim, arguing that he could not have been using psychoanalysis until after he exiled himself to Canada in September 1908. Removing Jones reveals vibrant British cultures of ‘Mind Healing’ which serve as backdrops for widespread interest in Freud. First; the London Psychotherapeutic Society whose volunteer staff of mesmerists, magnetists, hypnotists and spiritualists offered free psycho-therapeutic treatments. Then the wondrous Walford Bodie, who wrought his free ‘miraculous cures,’ on and off the music-hall stage, to adoring and hostile audiences alike. Then the competing religious and spiritual groups actively promoting their own faith healings, often in reaction to fears of Christian Science but often cow-towing to orthodox medical and clerical orthodoxies. From this strange milieu emerged medically qualified practitioners, like Edwin Ash, Betts Taplin, and Douglas Bryan, who embraced hypnotism and psychotherapy. From 1904 British Medical Journals began discussing Freud’s work and by 1908 psychiatrists, working in lunatic asylums, were already testing and applying his theories in the treatment of patients. The medically qualified psychotherapists, who formed the Medical Society for the Study of Suggestive Therapeutics, soon joined with medical members from the Society for Psychical Research in discussing, proselytizing, and practising psychoanalysis. Thus when Jones returned to London, in late summer 1913, there were thriving psychotherapeutic cultures with talk of Freud and psychoanalysis occupying medical journals and conferences. Psychoanalysis in Britain, 1893–1913, with its meticulous research, wide sweep of vision and detailed understanding of the subtle inter-connections between the orthodox and the unorthodox, the lay and the medical, the social and the biographical, as well as the byzantine complexities of British medical politics, will radically alter your understanding of how those early twentieth century ‘Mind Healing’ debates helped shape the ways in which the ‘talking cure’ first started infiltrating our lives.
Download or read book The Uncanny Rise of Medical Hypnotism 1888 1914 written by Gordon David Lyle Bates and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-02 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the improbable rise of medical hypnotism in Victorian Britain and its subsequent assimilation and neglect. It follows the careers of the ‘New Hypnotists’: Charles Lloyd Tuckey, John Milne Bramwell, George Kingsbury and Robert Felkin. This loosely knit group all trained with the Suggestion School of Nancy and published books on hypnotism. They had to confront the many public and medical prejudices against the trance state which had persisted after the scandalous disgrace of John Elliotson and medical mesmerism, fifty years before. Hypnotism was a highly contested technology and in the 1890s the debates about safety and utility were fought in the national newspapers as well as the medical journals. The new hypnotists took on the might of the medical institutions personified by Ernest Hart, Editor of the British Medical Journal. However their timing was propitious, as the rise of faith-healing forced the medical profession to confront the non-physical therapeutic aspects of the doctor-patient relationship. The hypnotic discourse was shaped by these developments, but also by the fascination of the general public, novelists, occultists, psychic investigators, educationalists and spiritualists in the myriad possibilities of the trance state. Despite growing interest in the prehistory of British psychology and talking therapies, and the recent challenges to the primacy of Freudian histories, there are few accounts of the development of British ‘eclectic therapy’. This book uses the New Hypnotists as a lens to examine Victorian medicine and society, exploring their role in establishing the term ‘psychotherapy,’ and legitimising medical hypnotism, a precursor of psychological therapies.

Download or read book How Philosophy Changed Psychoanalysis written by Aner Govrin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through this book, philosopher and psychoanalyst Aner Govrin demonstrates how psychoanalysis’ engagement with philosophy was crucial in the evolution of new psychoanalytic theories in three areas: perception of truth, developmental theories, and study of psychoanalytic treatment. Beginning with a Freudian perspective, through ego psychology to the intersubjective and the relational approach, Govrin shows that philosophy seeps into psychoanalytic theory itself, becoming a constitutive factor. When we discuss psychoanalysis, we cannot do it without reference to philosophy, since virtually every sentence it has generated harks back to and is embedded in philosophy. Moving onto the Post-psychoanalytic Schools Era in the second part, this seminal volume provides a model for understanding the evolution of psychoanalytic thought in the postmodern era, where “sensibilities” like the relational approach and infant research replaced the orthodox psychoanalytic schools. Govrin also explores whether psychoanalysis is a branch of philosophy, how psychoanalysis progresses, what a psychoanalytic innovation is, and why mainstream psychoanalysis rejects neuropsychoanalysis. Exploring the intricate relationship between psychoanalysis and philosophy, this book will be of interest to clinicians, scholars, teachers, and students of contemporary psychoanalysis across a broad spectrum of theoretical orientations, as well as those in philosophy of science, epistemology, and neuropsychoanalysis.
