Synopsis

A groundbreaking look at psychic phenomena and the human mind, drawn from a detailed case study.

This edition presents a translator’s English rendering of Théodore Flournoy’s landmark work, known for its careful psychological analysis of a well‑known medium. It documents the experiences, visions, and language experiments surrounding Mile. Helene Smith, while placing her case in the broader history of psychical research and scientific inquiry.

Readers will gain insight into how researchers separate genuine phenomena from fraud, how emotional shocks and suggestibility shape experiences, and how a single case can illuminate debates about memory, dissociation, and the mind’s hidden dimensions. The book also situates personal reports within a scientific framework that seeks to understand the limits and possibilities of the human psyche.

• Detailed case material on trance, somnambulism, and glossolalia


• Psychological analysis of memory, imagination, and dissociation


• Discussion of scientific methods, skepticism, and the search for evidence


• Context within the history of psychical research and early science

Ideal for readers of psychology, the history of science, and investigations into paranormal phenomena.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
