Hypnotism or Suggestion and Psychotherapy, Dr. (Med.) August Forel, First English translation by H.W. Armit, The London Press Company, 1906

Hypnotism or Suggestion and Psychotherapy by Auguste Forel is a significant early work in the scientific study of hypnosis and its therapeutic applications. First published in German and presented here in its first English translation (1906), the book explores the psychological and physiological mechanisms of suggestion, alongside its use in medical treatment. Forel, a pioneering figure in psychiatry, approaches the subject with a rigorously scientific perspective, reflecting the growing interest in hypnosis and the emerging fields of psychotherapy and mental science at the turn of the twentieth century. The work stands as an important contribution to early modern understandings of the mind and its treatment.
