Mike, I don't have a copy here at home, but the book you want is:
A century of serial publications in psychology, 1850-1950 : an international bibliography / Donald V. Osier, Robert H. Wozniak [ Book : 1984 ] I think that several (mostly short-lived) 19th-century magazines and journals with the word "psychology" in the title were focused on (what we now call) "psychical phenomena." Indeed that very odd division of verbal labor which we employ to distinguish the "psychic" from "psychological" arose in the course of brokering an end to the long and complicated relationship between the two sides. (Just like philosophy distinguishes between epistemology and epistemic (pertaining to the theory of knowledge vs. pertaining to knowledge itself), so should the distinction in our discipline be one between pertaining to the theory of the mind and pertaining to mental function itself; e.g., memory is a psychical function but assessing the adequacy of the "levels of processing" theory of memory is a psychological activity.) Even the "real" Psychological Review, in it first five years, published two articles on "automatism," co-authored by Gertrude Stein, later to be of great literary fame. Also, it should not be forgotten that G. Stanley Hall got the money with which he founded the American Journal of Psychology from a leader of the psychical research community (Robert Pearsall-Smith), to establish a journal that would be open to just such questions (and then, in an all-too-typical turnabout, Hall banned them from its pages in his opening editorial). It should also be recalled that Hall, William James, and other psychologists sat on the founding executive of the American Society for Psychical Research. Then, all but James dropped off after a few years. Hall's one-time student, Joseph Jastrow turned into a kind of "psychic hunter," seeking out and trapping frauds by using all kinds of subterfuge (like planting spies under tables during séances), Sometimes he would go specifically after ones who James had publicly declared to be authentic.
