Synopsis

Fifteen years ago researches in pathological psychology, based upon the study of hysteria and suggestion, were begun in France, England, and other countries. Physiologists and philosophers gave themselves up enthusiastically to this new line of work, and in a short time a very considerable number of observations and experiments of different sorts were collected. The principal questions taken up with more or less fruitfulness were hallucinations, paralysis by suggestion, alterations of personality, diseases of memory, muscular sense, suggestion both in the waking state and in hypnosis, unconscious suggestion, etc. As these researches were multiplied and extended, many discussions arose. Not only were there differences of opinion on questions of theory, but important facts confirmed by some were denied by others; and so various schools arose. These controversies, which are of course to be regretted, but which are nevertheless usual and even necessary in new branches of research, yet tended in this case to cast some doubt upon the real value of the material.
