Case history of a combat veteran with traumatic war neurosis.
The reports of both Royal Commissions along with Bailly's summary of the Faculty's report and d'Eslon's spirited critique of both reports, in which he condemned their prohibition against the practice of animal magnetism. A nice collection of the most important documents relating to the reports of the two commissions, the highly negative conclusions of which destroyed Mesmer's scientific pretensions for animal magnetism, consigning it to fringe science for several generations, until it reemerged in the mid-19th century as a slightly more respectable hypnotism. Very controversial, the reports stimulated for years the publication of pamphlets and books defending or excoriating their negative conclusions.
Crabtree 1051: "Baréty posits the existence of a 'neuric force' produced in the nervous system and radiating from the body in three areas; the eyes, the ends of the fingers, and the lungs. According to Baréty, the dynamic form of this force circulates through the body and others transmit it. The force may radiate over distances from a few centimeters to many meters, and, depending on the power of the radiation and the senstitivity of the receptor, it may be sensed by individuals in the vicinity. Baréty equated his 'neuric force' with Mesmer's animal magnetism."
Melds suggestion theory à la the Nancy School with psychoanalysis. Contains many case discussions.
Crabtree #1036.
Crabtree #36; Caillet 979 (citing the Hague imprint); not in the Norman Catalog; Tinterow p. 18; Blake p. 42; Wellcome II, p. 147.A lawyer, Bergasse was a key figure in the spread of Mesmerism. When Mesmer felt threatened by D'Eslon in 1782, Bergasse and the financier Kornmann formulated the plan to found the Societé de l'Harmonie. The idea worked, succeeding in enriching Mesmer and in creating a broad base of support for Mesmerism. It is in this book that Bergasse expounds his mesmerically-founded philosophical theory. The book angered Mesmer and resulted in Bergasse leaving the society.
Not in NUC, OCLC, or Crabtree (though a 1914 pamphlet is #1692). A French physician, Berillon edited the Revue de l'hypnotisme, and later the Revue de Psychothérapie. He was an important contributor to the literature of hypnotism as it was turning into nascent psychotherapy.
Norman Catalog 212. Written to Bérillon as editor of the Revue d'Hypnotisme. Bernheim writes that he is sending Bérillon an article for the Revue in which he views the question of hypnotic influence and its degrees in a new light.Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of Nancy, and known for his research on typhoid fever and heart disease, Bernheim became the first physician to use hypnotism in the treatment of neuroses, a key move towards what was to become psychotherapy. Inspired by the success the Nancy physician Ambroise Liébault had achieved in using hypnosis, Bernheim tried Liébault's technique himself. He quickly concluded, contra Charcot's theory that the hypnotic state was part of hysteria, that hypnosis was a separate psychological state closely connected to suggestion. In 1884 he published De la suggestion dans l'état hypnotique et dans l'état de veile, the foundation text for the Nancy School of hypnotism, which regarded hypnotism as a form of suggestion. In 1886, not long before this letter, Bernheim greatly expanded his 1884 book into De la suggestion et de des applications à la thérapeutique, the second part of which discussed numerous cases in which Bernheim had used hypnosis or waking suggestion. As Adam Crabtree noted in his important bibliography Animal Magnetism, Early Hypnotism, and Psychical Research 1766-1925, "This work became the basic text used by the adherents of the Nancy School and holds a unique place in the history of hypnotism" [#1127, pp. 266-267].
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].

Grinstein 10365 & 317; Norman Catalog F150 (this copy).
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.

Facsimile reprint of the London 1887 edition.
The first attempt within experimental psychology to demonstrate the validity of hypnotic phenomena. Written while he was working at the Salpetrière, Binet's second book is a spirited defence of Charcot' view of hypnotism as a pathological physical phenomenon (as opposed to the Nancy School's psychological explanation). Contains two excellent historical chapters.

Crabtree 1988 #1605. Translated into English in 1917 as Our Hidden Forces.
Composed of writings produced between 1893 and 1903. Boirac attempts to answer the question whether it is possible to study scientifically psychic phenomena, which he divides into three main categories: hypnoidal, magnetoidal (natural but unclassified physicl forces), and spiritoidal (resulting from unknown agents).
"Attempts to present a complete picture of the status of psychical research at the time" with an important discussion of suggestion in psychical researh [Crabtree 1988 1721].
Not in Crabtree, probably because Adam hadn't seen a copy. Bonnet practiced in Algeria and OCLC records only 9 copies (in the USA: NLM, UCal Berkeley, Dartmouth, Cornell, Univ Vermont, and UCal San Francisco).
Not in Crabtree, though several journals edited by Bosc are. OCLC records only two copies of the original 1894 edition: NLM & Cornell.
GM #4993;Wozniak Mind & Body #21. Facsimile reprint of the rare London 1843 edition.
Except possibly for Tuckey, Bramwell knew more about hypnotism than any English writer of his time.
First issued in the Josiah Macy Review Series in 1944, this trade edition being much expanded with the addition of four case studies and an experimental study.
Hunter & Macalpine pp. 1058-1062. Translation of the 1852 revised second edition ofDes Hallucinations, first published in 1845. A British edition appeared in 1859 as On Hallucinations.The first substantial psychiatric treatise on hallucinations, a term introduced to medical psychology only twenty years earlier by Esquirol. Believing they constitute a disease sui generis, Brierre de Boismont attempts to reclaim the subject for psychology from medical pathology. He discusses the occurrence of hallucinations in ordinary life, examines the hallucinations of dreams and nightmares and the their occurrence in animal magnetism, somnambulism, and ecstasy. The latter part of the book discusses the causes, symptomatology, and treatment. Widely read, his book influenced everyone writing about the subject after him.
Hunter & Macalpine pp. 1058-1062. Facsimile reprint of the Philadelphia 1853 edition.
Norman Catalog 17; Grinstein 73580; Grinstein's Bibliography of Freud's Writings #22. Contains Freud's "Hypnose," columns 724-732—Freud's last writing explicity about the topic. Freud was still using hypnosis extensively at this time—indeed, it was probably his principal means of treatment in working with "neurotic" patients. As nearly always with Freud, the music of the prose sends chills up the spines of those who can read him in German. In his opening section he emphasizes the great difficulties in using hypnosis and explicitly states that if a physician only half believes in its efficacy he ought definitely not to use the method, else the results will be "komisch." One wonders if he might have at least partly had himself in mind, for we have seen a postcard from this this period in which Freud defended his use of hypnosis in a particular case as "having been entirely correct."
Crabtree 436; Caillet 1801; Tinterow Catalog p. 33; Norman Catalog M56.
"The most complete history of animal magnetism in France published up to its time. It reproduced numerous important documents in the history of mesmerism, including the four reports of 1784, the favorable report issued by another investigatory committee in 1826, and the hostile reports published in 1837 by two commissions appointed to investigate the paranormal powers associated with somnambulism. Burdin and dubois d'Amiens favored the official view that mesmerism's effects were due solely to the imagination" [Norman Catalog].

A New Thought book mostly devoted to telepathy, thought-transference, and mental suggestion. Born in England, the largely self-taught Colville had his first mediumistic experience in 1874. In 1878 he traveled to the US and spent the 1880s moving between England the USA, settling permanently in the US in the 1890s after a two-year sojourn in Australia. Colville wrote a number of books on various occult, theosophical, and New Thought subjects, and became an early advocate of alternative medicine, including chromotherapy.
