The 2nd edition contains a new 5 page preface.
GM-5 4995.1 (1884 1st); Norman Catalog 211; Crabtree 1127; Wozniak Mind and Body, #24 & pp. 28-29. An important text for the history of both hypnotism and psychotherapy. Bernheim was the first to treat neuroses hypnotically. Crabtree construes this as a separate book, but I regard it as an enlarged version of the original text.The first part republishes Bernheim's 1884 text that introduced Liébault's work to a broad audience. In it he sharply contrasts his purely psychological conception of hypnotism with Charcot's physiologically based notion, which viewed it as a pathological condition found only in hysterics. In the second and new part of the book "Bernheim discusses suggestion as a therapeutic agent. . . . This work became the basic text used by the adherents of the Nancy School and holds a unique place in the history of hypnotism" [Crabtree].
An important text both for the literature of hypnotism and psychotherapy. Bernheim was the first to treat neuroses hypnotically. The first of two translations of Bernheim by Freud. The preface constitutes Freud's first psychological publication.
Grinstein 10365 & 317; Norman Catalog F150.
An important text both for the literature of hypnotism and psychotherapy. Bernheim was the first to treat neuroses hypnotically. This second German edition omits the case histories translated for the first German edition by Springer, and contains both Bernheim's foreword for the 1891 French edition an entirely new, much shorter preface by Freud in which he stated that scientific understanding of hypnosis & suggestion had advanced so much as to render his first preface out of date.
GM (3rd edition) #5000. An important early psychotherapy text. "According to Dejerine's preface, this work by his pupils Camus and Pagniez was the first general treatise on his method of treating psychoneuroses, a method based on isolation and psychotherapy" [Norman Catalog 394 (this copy)].
Still an excellent source for the history of faith healing with a useful chapter on 19th century European and American healers.
Sadoff Catalog page 33.
"An important book for the history of religious psychotherapy, including Phineas Parkhurst Quimby's correspondence with Mary Baker Eddy" [Vande Kempe Psychology and Theology in Western Though 1672-1965 # 525].
Mostly translated by Jelliffe's wife.
Easily the most important and widely read early book on medical psychotherapy published in America. "One of the most systematic of the attempts to treat neurotic disorders [rationally] was the persuasion therapy of Paul Charles Dubois, who was professor of neuropathology at Bern. Dubois had been strongly influenced by Heinroth and believed that most mental disturbances have psychological causes. He emphasized that psychological functions have a physiological substratum: psychological function is 'a special function of the brain' that cannot be described in physiological terms but can be influenced by psychotherapy. Psychotherapy, to be effective, should be rational: the physician's task was to convince the patient that his neurotic feelings, thoughts, and behavior were irrational. Dubois' method was another form of Pinel's moral treatment and amounted to reeducation according to reason and accepted moral principles" [Alexander & Selesnick's History of Psychiatry, pp. 174-175].
Actually mostly translated by Jelliffe's wife (as acknowledged in the translators' preface. "Sixth edition" here probably means the corrected sixth printing, since the pagination of the main text is identical with the 1905 first edition. Dubois did add a new 11 page preface to this printing, though.

Norman Catalog 658 (this copy). "In Bern, the neurologist Paul Dubois, an autodidact in psychiatry, developed a psychotherapeutic method called persuasion, which became widely used, and he also clarified the concept of psychoneurosis" [Howells, p. 253].Dubois' book was a key text in the early psychotherapy movement. Jelliffe & White's translation came out the same year as the second French edition.

Scientific spiritualism with chapters on the biologic basis of ethics and religion and on the role of maternal love in organic evolution.
Vande Kempe #516: These conferences "demonstrate how Huckel, a pastor, helps troubled persons. Using a psycho-physical parallelistic model, Huckel presents to the medical students means for dealing with the moral and intellectual problems of their patients. Calls for a raprochement between religion and medicine but does not advocate that clergymen become therapists."
Hudson's theory that man has two distinct minds (an objective which carries on practical life and a subjective which infallibly records every sensory impression) was widely popular early in the 20th century.
Volume I only. The second volume with Fulgence Raymond's contributions was also first published in 1903, but its second edition did not appear until 1911.
Crabtree 1988 1212; Norman Catalog 1239 (this copy). Krafft-Ebing claimed to have produced burn marks, blisters, and a lowered temperature in his hypnotized subject.
Chapters on talismans, phylacteries, the royal touch, healing spells, metallo-therapy, animal magnetism, the influence of music, quackery, etc.
BAL 14102 Binding A; Norman Catalog 1524; Heirs of Hippocrates 1959; Cushing M403; Waller 6569 (2nd ed).Mitchell's first extensive treatise on neuropsychiatry, in which he expounds in detail the theoretical & clinical grounds for his famous 'rest cure' for hysterics. Since he was quite aware of the psychological nature of hysteria, much of Mitchell's treatment was suggestion therapy.
Scarcer than the first edition and with new chapters.
"Became a very popular general treatise on hypnotism, going through many revised editions over the next twenty-five years" [Crabtree 1988 #1240]. Moll credits the mesmerists as the discoverers of post-hypnotic suggestion; discusses the medical and legal uses of hypnotism; and points out experimental errors that had been cited as confirming the existence of a magnetic fluid.
So far as we can determine, this is the first book by an American with 'Psychotherapy' in the title, one of the earliest American books dealing with the subject, and the first book by an American psychologist explicitly on psychotherapy.
Reprint of the 1909 edition with a new 8 page introduction by E. J. Dingwall. Still a useful history.
Crabtree Animal Magnetism, Early Hypnotism 1619. "Quackenbos describes the use of hypnotism and suggestion to deal with moral and emotional problems. In his discussion of the power of suggestion and its place in healing, he provides a lengthy treatment of auto-suggestion and its place in healing" [Crabtree].
Not in Crabtree Animal Magnetism, Early Hypnotism.
From 1896 in private practice in Berlin as an internist. Cited by Schultze in Psychotherapie (Stuttgart 1952), pp. 45-54 as one of the early giants in the history of psychotherapy.
A Scotsman who became a Harley Street physician, Schofield was an early champion of psychotherapy in the UK. His 1898 book on the unconscious, reprinted numerous times, made his reputation in the nascent field of mental therapeutics. The present book, addressed to physicians, is the first 'how-to' psychotherapy book in English, in which Schofield discusses in considerable detail how he actually treated psychoneurotic patients.
An early British medical champion of psychotherapy, Schofield has been almost completely neglected by historians, perhaps because he also dabbled with Spiritualism. In the present book, which expands a lecture given in 1891 at the Sanitary Institute, Schofield aims to explain the new notions of mental therapeutics to a lay audience. Contains chapters on functional nerve disorders; neurasthenia & neuromimesis described; on mental therapeutics; self-treatment, unconscious & conscious; medical treatment of functional nerve diseases; glossary; index.
A serious book on character and its development by a physician who was an early champion of psychotherapy in the UK. Since Schofield was both a believing Christian and a believer in the importance of unconscious influences on conduct, his chapters on character & conscience and character & Christianity are particularly interesting. Not in Vande Kemp's bibliography Psychology and Theology, 1672-1965, though I think it should be. Also completely ignored by Roback in his Psychology of Character.
"A small but well-researched treatise on the therapeutic use of hypnotism from the time of Braid. Schrenck-Notzing discusses its history in France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland, England and other countries. He also provides a useful bibliography of relevant literature from each country" [Crabtree #1219].
Grinstein 10639; Norman Catalog F67.
Crabtree #1251. The seven editions chart the early history of the growth of psychotherapy out of hypnotism, eventually turning into a veritable encyclopedia of treatment by hypnotism and psychotherapy. From the 1890 2nd edition subtitled "Treatment by Hypnotism and Suggestion" and from the 1900 4th edition titled Treatment by Hypnotism and Suggestion, or, Psycho-therapeutics. "The first English medical man to adopt the Nancy form of treatment seems to have been C. Lloyd Tuckey who first visited 'dear old Dr. Liébault,' and then Bernheim, Bérillon and van Renterghem, in the autumn of 1888" [Gauld, A History of Hypnotism, p. 349].Tuckey's book introduced Liébault's method to English-speaking psychopathologists and was the first book in English explicitly on psychotherapy in the modern sense.
A popularly written period guide to mental health. Walton was consulting neurologist to the Massachusetts General Hospital.
A popular treatment.
Chapters on the mind, brain, nervous system, emotions, imagination, attention, the nature of pain, the environment, and practical applications (discussing headache, constipation, catarrh, nervousness and nervous exhaustion, rheumatism & neuralgia, functional disorders of women, etc.).
Written as a supplement to their 1908 Religion and Medicine, the book that started the Emmanuel Movement, which went into many printings. The first part, by Worcester, originally appeared as an article in The Century Magazine for July, 1909. The second part, by McComb, is a revised and expanded version of his article in the October, 1909 Hibbert Journal. Unlike their earlier book, this defense of the movement against attacks by both Christian Scientists and physicians is very uncommon. Not in Vande Kempe's Psychology and Theology in Western Thought, though she described The Emmanuel Movement as "one of the earliest efforts in the twentieth century to integrate spiritual and psychological approaches to healing. Based on the initial effort of James Bisset Pratt with tuberculosis patients (Pratt was the founder of group therapy), Emmanuel Church, Boston, l begqan work with the emotionally disturbed in 1906. The movement perceived itself as part of the demand for a functional faith similar to Christian Science" [annotation to #514, Religion and Medicine]. The Emmanuel Movement became quickly and wildly popular—it was obviously in tune with changes then going on in American culture—and at the height of its influence had over a million members. Nonetheless by 1912 it was already nearly dead, about to be replaced (if that's the correct term) by the nascent medical movements of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
The foundation text for the Emmanuel Movement, which McComb, Worcester, and Isador Coriat founded, Religion and Medicine "examines the nature of the subconscious mind and its place in the production of 'functional disorders.' Emphasis is placed on the value of hypnotism with suggestion as a treatment technique" Crabtree 1988 #1615. "This is the official history and teaching of the Emmanuel Movement, one of the earliest efforts in the twentieth century to integrate spiritual and psychological approaches to healing. Based on the initial effort of James Bisset Pratt with tuberculosis patients . . ., Emmanuel Church, Boston, began work with the emotionally disturbed in 1906. The movement perceived itself as part of the demand for a functional faith similar to Christian Science. Most of the book details theories of personality and healing" [Vande Kempe Psychology and Theology in Western Thought, 1672-1965 #514].
