P., Doin, 1886, un volume in 8 relié en pleine toile éditeur, (reliure de l'époque), (quelques rousseurs), (2), 3pp., 428pp., figures dans le texte, 16pp. (catalogue de l'éditeur)
---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "Bernheim, a professor in the Faculté de médecine at Nancy, began studying hypnotism, suggestion and hysteria after observing Liébeault's method of treatment by induced sleep. After two years of working closely with Liébeault, Bernheim published the present work in which he stated that hypnosis was not a pathological state based on physiological processes, as Charcot claimed, but a purely psychological state closely connected with suggestion. Bernheim was the first to state that the stages of hypnosis posited by Charcot were actually artifacts produced by suggestion ; he also demonstrated that Charcot's "four-phase hysteria" was not an illness but a psychoneurotic reaction caused by suggestion, and curable by the same process. He believed that suggestibility was limited to hysterics but extended to the entire human race, and used the study of suggestibility to gain insight into human behavior. Historically this conception of Bernheim's should be considered the first known attempt to evolve a general understanding of human behavior and its motivation on the basis of the study of psychopathology rather than on the basis of philosophical systems". (Zilboorg p. 368) ---- CRABTREE N° 1127 : "The first part of this work is a republication of Bernheim's De la suggestion dans l'état hypnotique et dans l'état de veille... In the second part of the book, Bernheim discusses suggestion as a therapeutic agent. Beginning with a look at the traditional role of the imagination in healing through the ages, Bernheim places modern suggestive therapeutics in that historical stream. This introduction is followed by a long section on cases of specific illnesses Bernheim treated through hypnotic suggestion or through waking suggestion (Bernheim insists that the hypnotic state is not essential for effective treatment through suggestion). The book concludes with a chapter on the dangers to be guarded against in the use of hypnotism and suggestion. This work became the basic text used by the adherents of the Nancy School and holds a unique place in the history of hypnotism" ---- DSB II - Hunter & Macalpine p. 907 - Ellenberger - Postel & Quetel p. 583 - NORMAN N° 211**476/ARM2A
Hypnotisme et suggestion. Hystérie - Psychonévroses - Neurasthénie - Psychothérapie -- BEL EXEMPLAIRE -- Troisième édition REVUE, CORRIGEE et AUGMENTEE
P., Doin, 1910, un volume in 8, broché couverture imprimée, 40pp., 755pp.
---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- Troisième édition REVUE, CORRIGEE et AUGMENTEE : "Cette nouvelle édition contient mes idées actuelles sur le neurasthénie et les psychonévroses telles que leur étude prolongée par la suggestion les a imposées à mon esprit... Le mot hystérie, d'après sa signification traditionnelle s'applique à une psychonévrose spéciale caractérisée par les crises que tout le monde désigne de ce nom ; elle ne doit pas s'appliquer à toutes les psychonévroses, comme le propose Babinski... Je réserve le mot d'hystérie aux seules crises, dites hystériques, qui sont des réactions émotives psychodynamiques qui sont une variété de psychonévroses... Telle est la conception qui sera amplement développée dans ce livre". (Préface de Bernheim) ---- "Bernheim, a professor in the Faculté de médecine at Nancy, began studying hypnotism, suggestion and hysteria after observing Liébeault's method of treatment by induced sleep. After two years of working closely with Liébeault, Bernheim published the present work in which he stated that hypnosis was not a pathological state based on physiological processes, as Charcot claimed, but a purely psychological state closely connected with suggestion. Bernheim was the first to state that the stages of hypnosis posited by Charcot were actually artifacts produced by suggestion ; he also demonstrated that Charcot's "four-phase hysteria" was not an illness but a psychoneurotic reaction caused by suggestion, and curable by the same process.

Historically this conception of Bernheim's should be considered the first known attempt to evolve a general understanding of human behavior and its motivation on the basis of the study of psychopathology rather than on the basis of philosophical systems". (Zilboorg p. 368) ---- CRABTREE N° 1284 (1891 ed.) : "In this work, Bernheim places an even greater emphasis on the importance of suggestion than he did in his earlier writings. After an historical review of the use of suggestion in healing among the Egyptians and the Hebrews, Bernheim notes that successful treatment by suggestion can be carried out in the waking state and need not involve hypnotism at all. He follows this with important observations on hallucinations and amnesia and discusses the problem of the moral responsibility of a subject in the hypnotic state. The final section, the largest of the book, presents observations on the treatment by suggestion of a variety of illnesses ranging from organically based conditions to hysteria" ---- NORMAN N° 214 1st ed. : "A companion volume to De la Suggestion et de ses applications à la thérapeutique..." ---- DSB II - Hunter & Macalpine p. 907 - Ellenberger - Postel & Quetel p. 583**477/F3
