Rest, Suggestion, and Other Therapeutic Measures in Nervous and Mental Diseases (Routledge Revivals)
by Francis Xavier DercumFirst published in 1919. Emphasis has been laid upon simple physiologic methods of treatment; such as rest, feeding and psychotherapy. In order that the principles underlying the application of these methods should be clearly appreciated, the author has unfolded, in as systematic a manner as possible, the problems presented by the exercise of function, rest and the various fatigue states. He has adopted a purely clinical interpretation of the neuroses, a clear comprehension of which is an indispensable preliminary to intelligent and successful treatment. In embracing physiologic methods, medicines and psychotherapy in one volume, the author has endeavoured to present a comprehensive discussion of the treatment of nervous and metnal disorders; especially of those which are functional in character.
Children's Dreams (Routledge Revivals)
by Charles William KimminsOriginally published in 1920, Children's Dreams offers a rough classification of the type of dream peculiar to children of different ages, showing the variation from year to year and the influence of the environment. Considering children's dreams according to different age brackets ranging from five to eighteen years of age, and also considering the dreams of deaf and blind children, this book understands the important part played by the unconscious in the child's normal behaviour and recognises its educational value.
Revival: Repressed Emotions (Routledge Revivals)
by Isador H. CoriatPsychology in both its academic and practical aspects is now at the parting of the ways and the immediate future will determine whether it shall remain unproductive or become an instrument of practical importance in the guidance of human interests
The Beloved Ego: Foundations of the New Study of the Psyche (Psychology Revivals)
by Wilhelm StekelWilhelm Stekel was an Austrian physician and psychologist and one of Freud’s earliest followers. A prolific writer, this book originally published in 1921, was considered by the translator ‘the best general introduction of its author to the English public’, containing as is does many of his central ideas. Although the author had already fallen out with him by this time, in the preface to this book, he acknowledges Freud’s significance to the field and says he regards his ‘Psycho-Analysis as being a step towards a new psycho-therapy’.
The Depths of the Soul: Psycho-Analytical Studies (Psychology Revivals)
by Wilhelm StekelWilhelm Stekel was an Austrian physician and psychologist and one of Freud’s earliest followers. This title, originally published in 1921, was the author’s favourite of his own work. In the preface he says: ‘It was written in the beautiful years in which the first rays of analytic psychognosis penetrated the darkness of the human soul.’ Covering a variety of topics he takes a psychoanalytic look into The Depths of the Soul.
An Introduction to Psychology (Routledge Revivals)
by Susan S. BrierleyOriginally published in 1921, this introduction to psychology includes chapters on the definitions and methods related to psychology; organism and environnment; and instinct and intelligence.
Psyche's Lamp: A Revaluation of Pyschological Principles as Foundation of All Thought (Routledge Revivals)
by Robert BriffaultOriginally published in 1921, Psyche's Lamp reminds the reader that all thought and discussion, to whatever aspect of confronting problems, social, political, ethical, vital and personal, they may be directed, posit psychological premises. In the darkness and confusion of a human world under reconstrction, where immemorial landmarks lie strewn and buried under the debris of collapsed super-structures, we shall vainly endeavour to thread our way to any purpose unless we can pierce the obscurity by the light of Psyche's lamp.
Revival: In Relation to the Study of Educational, Social & Ethical Problems (Routledge Revivals)
by Stewart PatonThis book is intended to serve as an introduction to the study of human behivor. The author has therefore attempted to present a brief outline in a form favorable for discussion and investigation. The importance of the subject is obvious and has been tragically emphasized by the present world crisis. Little is known about man as he is. Imagination has supplied many of the details in the picture of what he was once supposed to be, while disappointment associated with unrealized expectations of what he might have become has increased the difficulties of taking measure of his present stature. Parent, teacher, physician, student of social phenomena, prospective reformer, statesman and philosopher, each has his special interest in the general human problem. To-day every intelligent citizen is anxiously awaiting the solution to the problem of how "democracy may be made safe for the world". There can be little doubt that in the careful, painstaking study of man as he is will be found the means by which human institutions may be established upon a more rational basis and at least an intelligent effort made to lay the foundations of a durable peace.
Revival: The Psychology of Medicine (Routledge Revivals)
by Thomas Walker MitchellThis 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.
The Psychology of Misconduct, Vice, and Crime (Psychology Revivals)
by Bernard HollanderBorn in Vienna in 1864, Bernard Hollander was a London-based psychiatrist. He is best known for being one of the main proponents of phrenology. This title, originally published in 1922 contains the reflections of the author on his experience as a physician specialising in nervous and mental disorders. He looks at a range of patients "suffering from character defects leading to moral failings..." finding that these cases of "moral derangement" come in all kinds. Very much of its time, he suggests that treating the causes should be with both physical and mental measures, including psychotherapy, which at the time consisted of "persuasion, suggestion, auto-suggestion, hypnotism, psychological analysis, as well as re-education." A fascinating glimpse into psychology from the early twentieth century.
Revival: Some Principles of Psychology as Applied to Conduct and Personal Power (Routledge Revivals)
by D. MacDougall KingThe aim of this treatise is to give the public a much needed understanding of those factors in everyday living which on the one hand tend toward nervous weakness, and on the other make for personal power. From the author’s viewpoint, everybody at times suffers from symptoms which are popularly termed "nervous," for nervousness is a matter of degree rather than kind. Whether "nerves" take the form of unreasonable impulsiveness or of serious obsessions occasioning body pain, the fundamental cause and radical cure of both are essentially the same.
Revival: (aziloth Books) (Routledge Revivals)
by Violet Mary FirthThis book is one of the shortest and clearest of the many popular books upon modern psychology which have been published. The beginner would find this book, with its clear explanations of technical terms, a useful companion to more advanced treatises.
Revival: Medical Psychology and Psychical Research (Routledge Revivals)
by Thomas Walker MitchellThis 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.
Revival: Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion (Routledge Revivals)
by Emile CoueSuggestion, or rather Autosuggestion, is quite a new subject, and yet at the same time it is as old as the world. It is new in the sense that until now it has been wrongly studied and in consequence wrongly understood; it is old because it dates from the appearance of man on the Earth. In fact, autosuggestion is an instrument that we possess at birth and in this instrument, or rather in this force, resides a marvellous and incalculable power, which according to circumstances produces the best or the worst results. Knowledge of this force is useful to each one of us, but it is peculiarly indispensable to doctors, magistrates, lawyers, and to those engaged in the work of education. By knowing how to practice it consciously it is possible in the first place to avoid provoking in others bad auto-suggestions which may have disastrous consequences, and secondly, consciously to provoke good ones instead, thus bringing physical health to the sick, and moral health to the neurotic and the erring, the unconscious victims of anterior autosuggestions, and to guide into the right path those who had a tendency to take the wrong one.
Heredity and Child Culture (Routledge Revivals)
by Henry Dwight ChapinFirst published in 1923, this book explores the impact on development that heredity and environment has on children. Chaplin argues that too much reliance is placed on education and in fact parents, physicians and teachers should equally be taking into consideration the physical and mental constitution of the child, which could be linked to hereditary and environmental factors. In conjunction with the moral, spiritual and intellectual predispositions that the child may have, Chaplin argues the pros of eugenics (in the perspective of the early 20th century) and equally the importance of euthenics for future prosperity of generations to come.

Revival: Nervous and Mental Re-Education (Routledge Revivals)
by Shepherd Ivory FranzThe problems of readjustment, for the individual and for the business purse and for the state, which inevitably follow war are most important at the present moment. Almost five years after the end of the Great Conflict, many of these problems are still facing us, and it will take many more years before they are settled. One who is interested in the statistics of conditions will find many places in which they can be found. Although statistics show what exists or has existed, they seldom provide advice regarding the solutions. The present work is entirely lacking in statistics It is intended to be of assistance in the solution of some problems.
Revival: Textbook of Psychiatry (Routledge Revivals)
by Eugen BleulerThis book marked a notable advance in psychiatry in that it emphasizes sharply the contrast between the older descriptive psychiatry of Kraeplin and the newer interpretative psychiatry of the present time which utilizes the psychoanalytical principles and general biological viewpoints developed by Freud and his pupils in Europe and by Meyer, Hoch, White and others. As an introduction to the study of clinical psychiatry the physician and the student will find the chapters dealing with the principles of psychology and psychopathalogy particularly helpful and stimulating.
Colour-Blindness: With a Comparison of Different Methods of Testing Colour-Blindness (Psychology Revivals)
by Mary CollinsOriginally published in 1925, this book embodies the results of research on red-green colour-blind subjects, supplemented by brief accounts of blue-yellow, total, and acquired colour-blindness to complete the description of the different forms of the defect. After a historical survey of previous work by such men as Dalton, Helmholtz, Rayleigh, Edridge-Green and others, the author deals with the most important theories of colour-blindness, and with a description of the tests and a discussion of their results.
Dreads and Besetting Fears: Including States of Anxiety their Causes and Cure (Routledge Revivals)
by Tom A. WilliamsFirst published in 1925, this forward-thinking volume examined states of anxiety, their causes and their possible cures. Based on physicians’ reports of their patients, the author aimed to expand beyond purely obsessive dreads to understanding fear in both its determinants and its mechanisms, with the view that pathological timidity is only brought on through learned fear and environmental influences rather than from birth.
