This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER in. THE EVIDENCE OF NOKMAL SUGGESTIBILITY. In our last chapter we ventured to generalize that every man in his full normal waking state is more or less suggestible. I should not wonder if such a seemingly sweeping generalization should startle many a cautious reader, and should call forth strenuous opposition. We must therefore rigorously demonstrate the fact of the universality of normal suggestibility. Such a proof is of the more importance, as the generalization which it establishes supplies a new principle to sociology, furnishes a key to the comprehension of many a great historical event, gives a deeper insight into the phenomena of political and economical life, and might possibly be of use in education. Is there such a thing as suggestibility in the normal waking condition? The Nancy school, with Bernheim and Liebault at its head, gives an affirmative answer.

"Es giebt keinen Hypnotismus: es giebt nur Phanomene der Suggestion," exclaims the Nancy professor. "Als etwas pathologisches, als eine kunstliche Neurose betrachtet existirt ein Hypnotismns nicht. "Wir schaffen im eigentlichen Sinne mit ihm keinen besonderen Zustand des Gehirns oder des Nervensystems; wir machen uns ganz einfach nur eine physiologische Eigenthiimlichkeit des Gehirns--die Suggestibilitat--zu Nutze und schaffen die zur Entfaltung dieser Suggestibilitat giinstigen Vorbedingungen." On closer inspection, however, we find that the great authority of the Nancy school stretches too wide and far the conception of suggestion, for, according to him, "Jede Yorstellung ist eine Suggestion." This, I say, is...
