Spiritism and Psychology is a book written by Theodore Flournoy that explores the relationship between the spiritualist movement known as Spiritism and the field of psychology. The book examines the claims made by Spiritists, who believe in the existence of spirits and the ability to communicate with them through mediums, and analyzes them through a psychological lens. Flournoy argues that many of the experiences reported by Spiritists can be explained by psychological phenomena such as suggestion, imagination, and subconscious processes. He also examines the role of mediums and their abilities, suggesting that they may possess unique psychological characteristics that enable them to access information beyond their conscious awareness. Overall, Spiritism and Psychology provides a fascinating insight into the intersection of spirituality and psychology, offering a critical examination of the claims made by the Spiritist movement.1911. In this volume, the perplexing manifestations on spiritism and psychology are treated in a manner at once daring and original, and with an impartiality rarely met with in high scientific circles. The author's standpoint is that spiritism (the belief in communication with spirits of the dead) is a �������fallacy,������� yet at the same time he acknowledges the existence of telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis, materialization, and other supernormal phenomena which are not, as yet, recognized by official science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
