The Practice of Autosuggestion

The work presents Emile Coué's system of conscious autosuggestion, describing his clinic, representative cures and a children's clinic, then explains the psychological principles that thought functions as a directing force and that imagination, rather than sheer willpower, mediates change. Practical chapters offer general rules, a concise daily formula for self-suggestion, guidance for coping with pain, and age-appropriate instruction for children, together with methods for using autosuggestion alongside ordinary medical care. Emphasis falls on brief, regular repetitions performed with the will temporarily relaxed and on treating autosuggestion as a supplement to conventional treatment rather than a replacement.
