He explores the use of hypnosis, suggestion, and other techniques in psychotherapy, as well as the dangers of unregulated or untested treatments. He also discusses the role of faith healing, spiritualism, and other alternative therapies in the history of quackery.The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of psychotherapy and quackery. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including historical texts, medical journals, and personal accounts, to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject.Overall, Primitive Psychotherapy and Quackery is a fascinating exploration of the history and practices of psychotherapy and quackery.
