Neurypnology Or The Rationale Of Nervous Sleep

Neurypnology Or The Rationale Of Nervous Sleep: Considered In Relation With Animal Magnetism is a book written by James Braid in 1843. The book discusses the concept of hypnosis or ""nervous sleep"" and its relation to animal magnetism, a popular belief in the 19th century that individuals could influence others through a magnetic force. Braid, a Scottish surgeon and hypnotist, argues that hypnosis is a natural phenomenon that can be explained through physiological processes, rather than supernatural or mystical forces. He also provides practical advice for inducing hypnosis and using it for medical purposes, such as pain relief and anesthesia. The book is considered a landmark in the development of modern hypnosis and is still studied and referenced today.Illustrated By Numerous Cases Of Its Successful Application In The Relief And Cure Of Diseases.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
