Yorkshireman Henry Maudsley (1835-1918) studied and built his
medical career in London. From 1860 he specialised in psychiatry,
working at hospitals and in private practice, and from 1863 to 1878
he was joint editor of the Journal of Mental Science. As one of the
leading European 'alienists', he treated high-profile patients and
became sufficiently wealthy to contribute GBP30,000 in 1907 towards
the foundation of a specialist psychiatric hospital. In his many
publications, he developed ideas of heredity derived from Darwin.
His lecturing style was famous; Body and Mind contains his 1870
Gulstonian lectures, given before the Royal College of Physicians,
and two earlier articles. Maudsley aimed to 'bring man, both in his
physical and mental relations, as much as possible within the scope
of scientific enquiry', and his preface dismisses 'vague and barren
disputations concerning materialism and spiritualism' as futile
compared to serious scientific enquiry based on physiology.
First published in 1886, this comprehensive analysis of
nineteenth-century spiritual experiments questions our long
tradition of encounters with the supernatural, and why it appeared
to have declined in influence in the writer's era. Maudsley (1835
1918), a medical psychologist and pioneer psychiatrist, sets out to
bring such alleged spiritual phenomena under scientific
investigation. Emphasising the natural defects and errors of human
observation and reasoning, as well as the prolific activity of the
imagination, this inquiry into the causes of belief in the
supernatural suggests that much of it can be explained though
hallucination, mania, and delusion. The book is divided into three
parts: the first section concentrates on the causes of fallacies in
the sound mind, while the second considers unsound mental action.
The focus of part three is theopneusticism, or the attainment of
supernatural knowledge by divine inspiration. This second edition
appeared in 1887.
