This book is intended primarily for those readers who have had no
professional training in either Medicine or Psychology, but who are
anxious to keep themselves abreast of modern thought in these
departments of knowledge. At the same time I hope it may prove
serviceable to professional students of these subjects as a
preliminary survey of the ground they will have to cover should
they desire to specialize in psychotherapies or in the psychology
of the abnormal. The topics discussed have been dealt with only in
outline. My endeavour has been to state the general principles on
which modern conceptions in the Psychology of Medicine are based
and to avoid as far as possible all detail which is unncessary for
comprehension of these principles.
This book deals with those branches of Medical Psychology which
have thrown most light on the problems of Psychical Research,
namely, Hypnotism, Hysteria, and Multiple Personality. The greater
part of the contents had already been published in the forms of
papers contributed to the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical
Research between 1910 and 1922 when the book was first released.
