nov 1, 1898 - The Mind-Cure movement (Late 19th & 20th Century)

Description:

spiritual and philosophical movement that emphasized the power of positive thinking, the influence of the mind on physical health, and the idea that individuals could use their thoughts and beliefs to bring about healing and well-being. This notion foreshadowed later developments in psychosomatic medicine and the recognition of psychological factors such as positive thinking in overall well-being. The movement laid the groundwork for later self-help and personal development movements including spirituality, mindfulness in psychology.
key figures who contributed to this movement include: Phineas Quimby, Mary Baker Eddy and Warren Felt Evans (Caplan, 2001 ; VanMattson, 2023, Lecure 6).
