Reviews

"M. Brady Brower clearly demonstrates the importance of the French strain of psychical research and shows it to be a crucial and unjustly neglected episode in the story of modern psychology. What he has uncovered should provoke a searching revision of the standard account of the resistance psychoanalysis faced in fin-de-siecle and interwar France." John Warne Monroe, author of Laboratories of Faith: Mesmerism, Spiritism, and Occultism in Modern France
