词汇 | couéism |
词源 | Couéism. “Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better.” The bowlegged man who repeated this famous psycho- therapeutic formula too often and became merely knock-kneed is a myth, but Emile Coué (1857–1926) is not. The French pharmacist and hypnotist turned psychotherapist established a free clinic in Nancy in 1910. Here he put into practice his sys- tem of therapeutics, based primarily on his theory that, by means of autosuggestion, ideas that cause illness may be elimi- nated from the will. This power of the imagination over the will was best expressed in his formula, and Coué claimed to have effected organic changes. He lectured widely abroad and his healing methods became well known in the United States and England during the 1920s. |
