Mr. Braid appears likely to have justice done to him at last. Some years ago we pointed out the important bearing of hypnotism on mental disorders in this Journal, in an article entitled “Artificial Insanity.” Subsequently, in 1872, the writer, in his work on the “Influence of the Mind upon the Body,” insisted on the interest and influence of hypnotism in mental therapeutics. The progress of scientific truth, if certain, is rather slow. It has taken some forty years for the British Medical Association to repair the error then made in refusing to hear a paper by Mr. Braid on his discoveries, when it met at Manchester.—[D. H. T.]

The Introduction sheds light on the reception of classical poetry by focusing on the materiality of the poets’ bodies and their tombs. It outlines four sets of issues, or commonplaces, that govern the organization of the entire volume. The first concerns the opposition between literature and material culture, the life of the mind vs the apprehensions of the body—which fails to acknowledge that poetry emerges from and is attended to by the mortal body. The second concerns the religious significance of the tomb and its location in a mythical landscape which is shaped, in part, by poetry. The third investigates the literary graveyard as a place where poets’ bodies and poetic corpora are collected. Finally, the alleged ‘tomb of Virgil’ provides a specific site where the major claims made in this volume can be most easily be tested.

The Subject

The frequency with which I am consulted about both men and women in whom an engagement of marriage has been associated with marked mental disorder, has induced me to bring the subject before this meeting of the Psychological Branch of the British Medical Association, especially as the subject naturally falls into a place in the larger subject suggested by Dr. A. Campbell Clark's papers on the perversions of the sexual and reproductive functions.

Parting Of The Ways

In his monumental work on the history of dynamic psychiatry (1970), Henri Ellenberger has traced the origin of the modern depth psychologies back into the mists of time. Both ills of the body and ills of the mind were originally handled by the priest-physician of primitive societies along much the same lines. But there came a parting of the ways. Glimmerings of an empirical approach to the external world led to some degree of objectivity and to the primordial elements of science. Some physical illnesses could be traced to physical causes, and an understanding of causation led in course of time to rational therapy along physical lines. But mental illnesses remained refractory. It was only in a small area of their vast extent that their causes could be attributed to bodily conditions and thereby to physical causes. Over a great reach of time up to the present day, or at least till yesterday, it was generally believed that, as bodily illnesses had physical causes, the illnesses of the mind must have psychological causes. It proved beyond the powers of priests or physicians to identify them; and there was no way of accounting for the variable course, outcome and responsiveness to treatment of mental disorders.

Renovation of the heart presents Dallas Willard’s vision for spiritual (trans)formation. He defines six essential components of human existence: Will/Heart/Spirit, the Mind (Thoughts) and Mind (Feelings), the Body, the Social, and the Soul, which organizes components into a single person. This article analyzes Willard’s view of Mind (Thoughts), the rational and most important component of personhood, for spiritual growth. Implications of ideas, images, information, and the ability to think are made in connection with life-long, intentional, and consistent discipleship. Willard’s biblical/philosophical approach to formation is contrasted with Christian educators’ biblical/psychological approaches. Finally, nine applications of Willard’s conception of Mind (Thoughts) are defined and illustrated for use in the provision of practical opportunities for spiritual formation from local churches, to seminary classrooms, to mission stations around the world.
