Our copy may have been inscribed to him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Robert Van der Elst\u2019s research followed a period of intense debate surrounding hypnosis. At the end of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century, interest in this phenomenon was reignited by the clash between two schools of thought: Charcot\u2019s view and that of Bernheim.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">For a long time, the concepts of hysteria and hypnosis were closely associated, a link particularly reinforced by the work carried out by Charcot at the Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re in the late 19<sup>th<\/sup> century. He studied hypnosis in female patients suffering from \u2018hysteria\u2019 and observed a correlation between certain hypnotic phenomena and the symptoms of this condition, such as paralysis or muscle spasms. He therefore concluded that hypnosis constituted a form of artificial hysteria, and that only those predisposed to hysteria were susceptible to hypnosis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">However, this view was strongly contested by Hyppolite Bernheim, who believed that hypnosis was based primarily on suggestibility and did not constitute a pathological condition. In particular, he was the first to use the term \u2018psychotherapy\u2019 in 1891.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Van der Elst\u2019s work focuses in part on these opposing views between the Paris School and the Nancy School, embodied respectively by Charcot and Bernheim. In it, he traces the history of the two concepts, exploring and analysing the mechanisms of suggestion and their therapeutic effects. His argument follows on from Charcot\u2019s conception, as evidenced by the conclusions of his study, which necessarily link hypnosis to hysteria. The thesis concludes with the following words: &#8220;<i>l&#8217;hyst\u00e9rie seule est justiciable de la suggestion hypnotique<\/i>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">A fine copy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Large 8vo (250 x 165 mm) 208 pp., 1 nn.l.
