This book is essentially practical in aim, written in response to a practical need. In her experience of remedial psychology, the writer saw that many cases of mental and nervous trouble would never have developed if their victims had had an elementary knowledge of the workings of the mind.

Produktbeschreibung
This book is essentially practical in aim, written in response to a practical need. In her experience of remedial psychology, the writer saw that many cases of mental and nervous trouble would never have developed if their victims had had an elementary knowledge of the workings of the mind. She also found that many patients required nothing but an explanation of these principles to put them on the road to recovery, and that even when more than this was needed to effect a cure, such a knowledge greatly expedited the treatment by enabling the patient to co-operate intelligently. So far as she is aware, there is no book that deals with psychopathology, not from the point of view of the student, but from that of the patient who needs an elementary knowledge of the laws of the mind in order to enable him to think hygienically. This book is written to fulfil that need. It is not only applicable, however, to those who are sick in mind or state, but to those also who desire to develop their latent capacities by means of the practical application of the laws of thought and character. This Premium Edition includes: . An Easy to Read Layout making reading comfortable . A dynamic Table of content (Ebook) . A bibliography . A section of famous quotes from the author
Autorenporträt
Dion Fortune was a British occultist, ritual magician, novelist, and author. He was born Violet Mary Firth on December 6, 1890, and he died on January 6, 1946. She was one of the people who started the occult group Fraternity of the Inner Light. This was a group that supported ideas that she said the Ascended Masters had taught her. She was a prolific writer who wrote many pieces and books about her occult ideas. She also wrote seven novels, many of which were about occult topics. She came to think that the Ascended Masters, including "the Master Jesus," were talking to her, so she used trance mediumship to pass on their messages. In 1922, Fortune and Charles Loveday said that Masters spoke to them during one of these rituals and gave them a book called The Cosmic Doctrine. Fortune is known as one of the most important ritual magicians and occultists of the early 20th century. The Fraternity she started lived on after she died, and in later years, it gave rise to many other groups that followed her ideas. The occult and current Pagan groups like Wicca were influenced by her books, especially the ones about witchcraft.
