Psyche was a London review occupying the ground where psychical research met the new academic and clinical psychology of the early twentieth century. Mediumship, spirit controls and the question of survival after death appear throughout its pages, but as objects of scientific scrutiny rather than as articles of faith, and the absence of seance reporting is as telling as the presence of the subject: this is a journal about the phenomena, not of them. Beside that material sits recognisably modern psychology — the interpretation of dreams conducted with the dreamer's co-operation, the mechanics of memory, hypnotic suggestion studied clinically, the mechanist debate about whether man is a machine, and the forensic question of criminal responsibility in the insane. Where the older sciences appear, they appear historically: Franz Joseph Gall belongs here to the history of brain science rather than to any practice of head-reading. The result is a periodical that treated the psychical as a frontier of psychology rather than as a rival to it. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
