Excerpt from Special Medical Part of the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research, Vol. 30: Part 75-78, July, 1918 December, 1919 Let me now turn to psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is a technique for discovering and analysing the contents of the unconscious mind. It is a therapy, specially beneficial in illnesses caused by disturbances in the unconscious region of the mind, functional diseases, such as hysteria, and other psychoneuroses. It may be regarded bistori cally as an offspring of hypnotism, as chemistry is an ofiapring of alchemy. In each case the ofispring differs widely from the parent. In hypnotism unconscious mental processes are covered up from the patient, in analysis they are laid bars. The history of hypnotism is too well known to need comment here, save to say that most psychoanalysts of repute have hitherto come to the newer therapy via the old. Psychoanalysis owes a debt to hypnotism and to those pioneers who initiated the use of a psychic remedy for psychic diseases.
