Book Overview
"Spiritualism and the New Psychology" explores the intersection of spiritualist beliefs and practices with the emerging field of psychology in the early 20th century. This volume seeks to explain spiritualist phenomena, such as s ances, mediumship, and apparitions, through the lens of modern psychological knowledge. It examines how concepts like suggestion, hypnosis, and the subconscious mind might account for experiences traditionally attributed to spirits or supernatural forces.
The book delves into the psychological underpinnings of spiritualist beliefs, offering a rational and scientific perspective on a movement that captivated many during its time. It provides valuable insights into the historical context of both spiritualism and the development of psychological thought, appealing to readers interested in the history of science, religion, and the human mind. This work remains relevant for those studying the evolution of parapsychology and the enduring human quest to understand consciousness and the nature of reality.
