Vladimir Mikhailovitch Bekhterev was a pioneering Russian
neurologist, psychiatrist, and psychologist. A highly esteemed
rival of Ivan Pavlov, his achievements in the areas of personality,
clinical psychology, and political and social psychology were
recognized and acclaimed throughout the world. However, when his
version of reflexological doctrine ran afoul of official Soviet
ideology in the 1920s his work was banned and his influence
suppressed through the dispersal of his many colleagues and
disciples. Bekhterev himself died in 1927 under mysterious
circumstances. This translation of Suggestion and Its Role in
Social Life is a significant instance of intellectual and cultural
restoration. It marks a starting point of Bekhterev's lifelong
endeavour to relate his clinical observations and philosophy of
science to problems of the social world. Bekhterev's investigation
reviews and explains the many conflicting positions in the social
and scientific thought concerning the nature and power of
suggestion. He takes pains to differentiate the process from
persuasion and hypnosis, and discusses suggestion and
autosuggestion in the waking state, examining their effectiveness
on feeling, thought, and behaviour. He then discusses the
destructive consequences of the process-violent crime, suicide,
witchcraft, and devil-possession hysteria- in a wide variety of
contexts important in the Russia, Europe and North America of the
period. Bekhterev presents a structural model of the mind,
including both conscious and unconscious realms, and the phenomena
of suggestion without awareness; in doing so he anticipated much
present-day work on preconscious influence. Suggestion and Its Role
in Social Life is a landmark study in collective psychological
research that may lead to revisions in histories of social
psychology. It will be read by psychologists, sociologists, and
social historians.
