Download or read book Spiritism and Psychology written by Theodore Flournoy and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritism and Psychology is a study of paranormal phenomenon from the standpoint of an accomplished psychologist. In this book, originally published in 1911, Flournoy explains why spiritism, the belief that people can speak to the dead, is impossible. He insists that spiritism can be explained through worldly and scientific means, if one admits some "supernormal" powers to average humans. Piece by piece, Flournoy deals with the major claims of spiritism, exposing how each can be explained through different means. An essential read for anyone interested in the occult, this book was considered a groundbreaking work in its time. Swiss professor THEODORE FLOURNOY (1854-1920) wrote a number of books on spiritism and is best remembered for From India to the Planet Mars (1900), which studied Hlne Smith, a medium who recalled past lives, including one lived in India.

Download or read book Spiritualism and the Foundations of C G Jung s Psychology written by F. X. Charet and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charet uncovers some of the reasons why Jung's psychology finds itself living between science and religion. He demonstrates that Jung's early life was influenced by the experiences, beliefs, and ideas that characterized Spiritualism and that arose out of the entangled relationship that existed between science and religion in the late nineteenth century. Spiritualism, following it inception in 1848, became a movement that claimed to be a scientific religion and whose controlling belief was that the human personality survived death and could be reached through a medium in trance. The author shows that Jung's early experiences and preoccupation with Spiritualism influenced his later ideas of the autonomy, personification, and quasi-metaphysical nature of the archetype, the central concept and one of the foundations upon which he built his psychology.

Excerpt: ...of ideas through contiguity or through resemblance which we might take for wilful disguise, when, as a matter of fact, it is the simple result of the operation of the psycho-physiological mechanism. Phenomena of this character abound not only in normal but also in abnormal psychology. For example, a word spoken in the ear of a sleeper, or an impression, either olfactory or tactile, which he receives, instead of passing over the threshold of his dream would remain below it, and there would create corresponding images or memories. And, in the observations on telepathy, both spontaneous and experimental, it often happens that the initial conscious representation of the agent is expressed in the percipient in equivalents often very different1 without our knowing which of the two sub-consciousnesses is responsible for the translation which takes place. But there are in these cross-correspondence tests other features which seem to exclude this explanation by simple telepathy and the passive role of the association of ideas; this is their clearly intentional character. They (the cross-correspondences) are often accompanied by phrases which indicate the work of a mind or will--the effort of an intelligence which has in view the method of guesswork or riddles, and which urges the readers to seek within the scripts for the key. Here is an example which I choose on account of its brevity, and which I abridge: 1 In a recent article upon complementary messages Professor Pigou insists, with reason, upon this point, recalling an excellent example: When the experiments in thought-transference at a distance between Miss Miles and Miss Ramsden took place, the latter tried to transmit the image of a Sphinx: it was externalized in the percipient as " Luxor...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practiced in community centers and psychiatric hospitals throughout Brazil, Spiritist therapies are gaining increasing recognition internationally for their ability to complement conventional medicine. This pioneering text is the first comprehensive account of the philosophy, theory, practical applications and wider relevance of Spiritist therapies to be published in the English language. Leading practitioners and researchers in the field describe the history, principles and diagnostic processes of the Spiritist approach to mental health, and provide an extensive summary of the various methodologies used, including spiritual mediumship, energy work, prayer, homeopathy, past life regression and the practice of integrating spirituality into counselling and psychotherapy. Considering the ways in which Spiritism aligns with contemporary science, they show that the Spiritist model has the potential to bring about a positive transformation in the ways in which mental health care is conceptualized and delivered around the globe. The final part of the book explores how Spiritist centers and psychiatric hospitals are established and financed, with specific examples from Brazil and the USA. Providing important new insights into the rich tradition of Brazilian Spiritism, this authoritative text will be of interest to mental health professionals, counselors, therapists and alternative and complementary health practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Transpersonal Psychology: Bridging Spirit and Science provides an accessible and engaging introduction to this complex and evolving field. Adopting a modular approach, the book systematically relates key themes of Transpersonal Psychology to three major areas within psychology: general psychology, experimental psychology, and clinical psychology. Covering a wide range of topics including transpersonal states of consciousness, biological foundations, research methods, and cognition, the book also features extensive discussion of transpersonal theorists and the impact of their work on our understanding of psychological concepts. The book also introduces contemporary developments in the field and anticipates future advances such as feminist perspectives and cross-cultural approaches alongside practical experiments designed to give transpersonal theories and concepts psychological roots. A critical evaluation of both mainstream and transpersonal theories and research is applied throughout to foster analytical skills and encourage critical and scientific thinking about humanity’s nature as spiritual creatures and ways to educate for personal and social transformation. Accompanied by an online instructor’s manual, this book will be an essential companion for all students of Transpersonal or Humanistic Psychology, or those interested in applying transpersonal ideas to mainstream psychological research.

Download or read book Mental Healthcare in Brazilian Spiritism The Aesthetics of Healing written by Helmar Kurz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-14 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the diversification of mental healthcare provision and patients’ health-seeking behavior by putting Brazilian Spiritism and its translocal relations at the center of its inquiry. Comparative chapters document and critically assess the affective arrangements of Spiritist spaces in Brazil and Germany and how practices contribute to healing and the diversification of a globally circulating mental health agenda. The book addresses the human experience within Spiritist psychiatric clinics and affiliated Spiritist centers in Brazil, which in migratory contexts also have connections to Germany. Chapters interrogate the spaces where people inside and outside Brazil engage in implementing Spiritist practices in mental healthcare, introducing the Aesthetics of Healing as a conceptual tool to understand interactions between religion and medicine more broadly. Establishing a novel analytical and interdisciplinary perspective on embodied aspects of sensory experience and perception, this compelling volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students involved with mental health research, medical anthropology, Spiritualism, and cross-cultural psychology. Practitioners in the fields of transcultural psychiatry and the sociology of religion will also find the volume of use.
