This Plunkett Lake Press eBook is produced by arrangement with Viking, an imprint of Penguin Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House LLC. “Health is natural; sickness is unnatural: at least so it seems to man,” is how Stefan Zweig begins his fascinating, often entertaining examinations of Franz Anton Mesmer, Mary Baker Eddy, and Sigmund Freud. “Bodily suffering is not assuaged by technical manipulation but through an act of faith.” Mental Healers is dedicated to Albert Einstein, the scientist who had won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. It first appeared in 1931 as Die Heilung durch den Geist, orHealing Through the Spirit, a title that anticipates our current interest in alternative medicine and the placebo effect. Zweig’s first healer, Franz Anton Mesmer (1734-1815), was a German physician who introduced “animal magnetism” to the world. Viewed by many as a charlatan, he died an outcast before he could properly understand and explain his discovery. Zweig’s second healer, Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), was a New England matron who found her vocation only in middle age. She established Christian Science, an American Protestant system of religious practice that rejects medical intervention, when she was almost 60. Zweig’s third healer, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), was the Viennese Jewish physician who founded psychoanalysis. Zweig, who knew Freud and delivered a eulogy at his funeral, describes Freud’s then-new ideas with the insight of an artist who lived in the same time and place. Fluently written and psychologically astute, Mental Healers is compelling cultural history and a valuable window onto the genesis of new ideas in healing. “Mesmer, Eddy and Freud were critical figures alerting the modern world to the influences of the mental and emotional on health and illness. Their impact was tremendous and Zweig's classic study provides a wonderful opportunity to engage with these significant innovators.” — Ted Kaptchuk, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Director, Program in Placebo Studies & Therapeutic Encounter

" La santé, pour l’homme, est une chose naturelle, la maladie une chose antinaturelle. Le corps en jouit aussi naturellement que le poumon jouit de l’air et l’œil de la lumière. La santé vit et croît silencieusement en l’homme en même temps que le sentiment général de la vie. La maladie, au contraire, s’introduit subitement en lui comme une étrangère, se rue à l’improviste sur l’âme effrayée et agite en elle une foule de questions. Car puisque cet ennemi inquiétant vient du dehors, qui l’a envoyé ? Se main- tiendra-t-il, se retirera-t-il ? Peut-on le conjurer, l’implorer ou le maîtriser ? Les griffes aiguës de la maladie suscitent au cœur de l’homme les sentiments les plus opposés : crainte, confiance, espérance, résignation, malédiction, humilité et désespoir. La maladie pousse le malade à questionner, à penser et à prier, à lever dans le vide son regard épouvanté et à inventer un être vers qui il puisse se tourner dans son angoisse. C’est la souffrance tout d’abord qui a créé chez l’homme le sentiment de la religion, l’idée de Dieu."

En un principio, los hombres atribuían la enfermedad a la influencia de los dioses y recurrían a la ayuda de los sacerdotes para una buena sanación. Con el tiempo descubrieron el poder curativo de las plantas y aprendieron a sacar de ellas ungüentos y brebajes. Sin embargo, ante las enfermedades del espíritu, el hombre estuvo desamparado hasta bien entrado el siglo XVIII, cuando aún era incapaz de establecer las causas y los motivos de las enfermedades de la mente. En "La curación por el espíritu", publicado en 1931, Stefan Zweig expone de un modo claro y preciso el pensamiento y la evolución de tres personalidades que desarrollaron un método de curación psíquica: Franz Anton Mesmer, que lo hizo por la vía de la sugestión y el refuerzo de la voluntad de sanar; Mary Baker-Eddy, que recurrió al éxtasis de la fe (la "Christian Science"); y Sigmund Freud, quien, reivindicando el conocimiento del Yo y buscando el origen de toda enfermedad en los conflictos psíquicos inconscientes, fundaría el psico-análisis y se convertiría así en un personaje de gran influencia. "La importancia que Zweig estimaba ya en Freud no hizo con los años más que acrecentarse". Revista Leer "No sólo recomiendo este libro a psicólogos y terapeutas, sino también a médicos, sacerdotes y, en general, a todos aquellos que han de vérselas cotidianamente con enfermos, a quienes, como estas páginas demuestran, hay muchos caminos con que poder confortar". Pablo d'Ors, ABC
