1. Oughourlian cites Meltzoff and Moore, “Imitation of Facial and Manual Gestures by Human Neonates,” Science 198 (October 7, 1977): 75–78, which reported on experiments showing that imitation of facial gestures, which Jean Piaget and others had thought could take place only after about eight to twelve months, could in fact take place within two to three weeks. Since Oughourlian wrote his book, Meltzoff, who teaches in the Child Development and Mental Retardation Center at the University of Washington, has pushed back the starting point for such learning much earlier, to the first few days after birth.

2. See Sulloway, Freud, Biologist of the Mind, pp. 43–50, for a concise account of the history of hypnosis and hypnotic theory among such seminal figures as Auguste-Ambroise Liébault (1823–1904), Jean-Martin Charcot (1825–93), and Hippolyte Bernheim (1840–1919), as well as Freud. Pierre Janet (1859–1947) was a student of Charcot’s and his successor at Salpêtrière.

3. Referring to Janet, L’Automatisme psychologique, pp. 98–103.

4. Ibid., p. 88; quoted in Oughourlian, Puppet, p. 235.

5. The references to Le Bon are to La Psychologie des foules, new edition, edited by Otto Klineberg (Paris: Presses Universitaires de France, 1963), book 1, ch. 1, p. 10 and p. 11 respectively.

6. Bernheim, De la suggestion, pp. 77–78; quoted in Oughourlian, Puppet, p. 207.

7. Italics added by Oughourlian. The page numbers refer to an undated manuscript by Sister Jeanne des Anges, published in Legué and de La Tourette, Soeur Jeanne des Anges, supérieure des ursulines de Loudun.

8. Balmary, Psychoanalyzing Psychoanalysis, pp. 113, 114.

9. See Sulloway, Freud, Biologist of the Mind, pp. 59, 82, 97, 208.

10. See, for example, Daniel Goleman, Vital Lies, Simple Truths: The Psychology of Self-Deception (1985).

11. In conversation with the author, Paris, July 1988.

12. In this connection Oughourlian has expressed admiration for the techniques of therapeutic use of suggestion and hypnosis developed by the American psychiatrist Milton Erickson. In a conversation in Paris in July 1988, Dr. Oughourlian told me that he considers Erickson the psychotherapist who most clearly exemplifies wisdom of the sort he has in mind and that he hopes to continue his research into the theory of hypnosis drawing on Erickson’s Advanced Techniques of Hypnosis and Therapy and also, on the level of therapeutic practice, to pursue clinical research along the lines of Erickson’s Strategies of Psychotherapy. For a discussion of Erickson, see Jay Haley, Uncommon Therapy: The Psychiatric Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D.
