Excerpt from Suggestion and Common Sense
But the psychotherapist adopts a particu larly superior attitude towards this principle: he makes the subconscious the field of the most fascinating adventures: he invents a language to describe its intricacies, its behaviour, and its regulation. Will he admit that most of what he tells us is as old as life, and that all is purely speculative? Not he. He takes the subconscious and clothes it with attributes as with a garment; he digs in it and brings up all he wants to find; tells us it is a structure, susceptible of injury, and liable to change; and in short he treats a fragile and elusive figment with a gross and unsatisfying materialism.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book explores the age-old yet ever-relevant subject of psychology and its profound relationship with organic life and disease. The author audaciously challenges conventional medical wisdom, emphasizing that illness is not merely a physical ailment but rather an integral part of our experiences and consciousness. Drawing upon examples from both the realms of medicine and philosophy, this book delves into the interconnectedness of body and mind, proposing that our emotions and experiences can significantly influence our health outcomes. The author argues that true healing lies in unlocking the power of suggestion, either through external influences or harnessing the innate potential of the individual to cultivate positive emotional states. By fostering hope and resilience, this book suggests that we can not only alleviate physical symptoms but also transform our mental and emotional well-being, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and healthier life.
