Our ideas of complementary and alternative healing are the legacy of two key thinkers: Emanuel Swedenborg and Franz Anton Mesmer. This book traces the influence of these two men through the nineteenth century as their ideas were embraced by utopians, psychic healers, spiritualists, homeopaths, and ultimately by the modern inheritors of those traditions.
