Reflexivity, the role of history, and the case of mesmerism in early Victorian Britain.
As part of a wider argument that history is essential to psychological understanding because of the reflexive nature of psychological knowledge, this article examines the case of mesmerism in early Victorian Britain as an example of how psychological knowledge is both constructive and constructed. It is argued that the shift from "mesmerism" to "hypnotism" was a change in understanding that created a new kind of psychological experience. It is also argued that demonstrations of mesmerism, far from being self-evident facts, could be framed as evidence either for or against the central claims of mesmerism.

Yet, what happens when we fail to balance this adequately with relaxation.
It seems that whether real or inspired by the media the challenges of life motivate us. If...
More than likely you have more to appreciate than you think? I know that for many people times are tough. Too many people are out of work. The Recession has left many of us with a tremendous decrease in income and revenue while our debts and bills remain the same – or are getting worse. However, look around you. If you start a list of everything and everybody that you appreciate in life, you will most likely find that your wealth is much greater than you ever considered.
