Abstract
MIND and body are not two distinct spheres of being. Their mutual influence is shown, among other phenomena, by neuroses which occur when the psychogenic disturbances from which a patient suffers manifest themselves chiefly as impairments of bodily functions. In elaborating the experimental foundations of this view, the author attempts to show the existence of a series of psychophysical ‘cycles’ or ‘spheres’ in which life variously and progressively discloses itself as it moves from the primitive to increasingly differentiated phases and forms. A description of the chief psychotherapeutic methods completes the technical exposition of the volume.
