Boris Sidis (1867-1923), a Russian-born psychologist and physician, made significant contributions to psychopathology. Studying under William James at Harvard, Sidis focused on suggestion, multiple personality, and the subconscious. His work, including the influential case study of Rev. Thomas C. Hanna, advanced the understanding of dissociation and the subconscious. (ANB)

An American journalist, and psychology’s “first publicist,” H. Addington Bruce (1874-1959), popularized psychology and psychical research through his writings. He explored topics such as the subconscious, suggestion, and telepathy, earning positive reviews for his books and contributing to the advancement of modern psychology. Bruce served as a trustee of the American Society for Psychical Research and contributed to various periodicals.

Both Bruce and Sidis shared a passion for psychology and contributed to its progress, with Bruce emphasizing popularization and psychical research, while Sidis focused on psychopathology and subconscious exploration. An excellent association copy.
