Summary: | The objects of the following pages may be thus stated: 1. To collect together in one volume authentic Illustrations of the influence of the Mind upon the Body, scattered through various Medical and other works, however familiar to many these cases may be, supplemented by those falling within my own knowledge. 2. To give these cases fresh interest and value by arranging them on a definite physiological basis. 3. To show the power and extent of this influence not only in health in causing Disorders of Sensation, Motion, and the Organic Functions, but also its importance as a practical remedy in disease. 4. To ascertain as far as possible the channels through, and the mode by, which this influence is exerted. 5. To elucidate by this inquiry, the nature and action of what is usually understood as the Imagination. -- Preface. The Mind acts upon the Body through its threefold states of: 1. Intellect; 2. Emotion; and 3. Volition. Psychologically, we intend to indicate by the title we have adopted, the design of illustrating by a considerable collection of striking cases the often admitted, but too frequently forgotten, and still more frequently neglected, truth, that the state of the Mind, comprising therein Intellect, Emotion, and Volition, exerts an enormous influence, for good or evil, upon the body with which it is associated--including in this term all Sensations, Movements, and the Organic Functions. Physiologically considered, the Illustrations range over the effects produced by the action of the nerve corpuscles of the encephalic centres concerned in intellectual, emotional, and volitional states of mind upon the sensory and motor ganglia, the centre of the sympathetic, and through the outgoing nerves upon the whole body. -- (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved). |
