Right now I'm reading Eric Caplan's _Mind Games: American Culture and the Birth of Psychotherapy_. It is 10 years old, but I've never read it and I'm thinking of bundling it with Alison Winter's _Mezmerized_ and John Van Wyhe's book on phrenology in a grad seminar I'm teaching on the three topics next year.
There is a new book by Anne Harrington on the history of "mind cures" of various kinds (from the 19th c to the present) that I might read this summer as well. I've been promising myself that I would read Michael Heidelberger's biography of Fechner as well. I think it is called _Nature from Within_. Chris -- Christopher D.
