Le magnétisme animal. Paris: Ancienne Librairie Germer Baillière et Cie; Félix Alcan, éditeur, 1887.
A well researched and widely read treatment of animal magnetism and hypnotism by two respected psychological investigators. The book includes a brief but informative history of those phenomena up to the time of its publication. It also contains a treatment of the stages of hypnotism, the nature of hypnotic suggestion, and the therapeutic application of hypnotism. The theoretical understanding of hypnotism presented is strongly influenced by the Salpêtrière school.
