" Fact and Fable in Psychology" by Joseph Jastrow presents a group of problems related to unusual psychic experiences and people who give promise of disclosing other worlds than the one with which common sense and common sensation acquaint us. The author further aims to illustrate that misconceptions in psychology, as in other realms, are as often the result of bad logic as of defective observation, and that both are apt to be called into being by inherent mental prepossessions.
The contents include:
The nature of the occult
Historical aspect of the occult
Theosophy
Spiritualism
Practical occult systems: Alchemy
Astrology, Phrenology, etc.
The occult in relation to medicine
Christian Science
