In-8 19th century red half-chagrin, smooth spine decorated, (4) - 229pp. and 1 ff of errata. First edition.

From induced somnambulism to hypnosis and psychoanalysis, the contemporary experience of dynamic psychiatry, the discovery of the unconscious and healing by the spirit have their origin in the authoritative and clumsy intuitions of the precursor Mesmer.
