Telepathy and the Subliminal Self

The book opens amid a growing public fascination with what was then called the “New Psychology,” a time when newspapers and novels were filled with reports of strange mental feats. Its author, a physician and member of a leading medical academy, steps in to sort fact from fancy, offering a calm, reasoned voice for readers who are curious but skeptical. By framing the subject as a bridge between rigorous science and the subtler currents of human experience, the work invites both professionals and laypeople to examine the evidence without dismissing it outright.

In clear, methodical prose the author surveys a range of phenomena—telepathy, hypnotic suggestion, automatic writing, dream imagery, clairvoyance, and related “phantasms.” He presents case studies, experimental observations, and contemporary commentary, always asking whether these occurrences can be measured, explained, or simply acknowledged as part of the mind’s hidden capacities. The result is a thoughtful exploration that respects the mystery while demanding honest inquiry, making a historically rich topic accessible to anyone interested in the limits of perception.
