ELECTRICAL PSYCHO...
ANALYSIS.
[British United Press.) Psycho-Analysis by electricity, as a method of reading the subcon- ecious mind with mathematical ac curacy, is proposed by Dr. Favou de Courmelles, writing in the Revue de Psychotherapie et Ptychologie Appliques. Dr. de Courmelés in fuct describes the departure as
mathematical paychoanalysis." The writer would base this new research on the frequently observed fact that emotional reactions of patients receiving electrical treat ment register on the galvanometer. Dr. Gelma, the Strasbourg pay chiatrist, has even laid down the rule that any appreciable emotional reaction of a patient crossed by an electric current will show on the galvanometer.
Galvanic Reflex. "He has called this reaction--the psycho-galvanic reflex. Medical ob servers have seen words, thoughts, pictures, individuale cause the needle to move, indicating a definite reaction. One doctor falls of a farmer whose galvanometer swung twenty-three points upon hearing a piano in the next room play the Lorraine March.

Albeit, only 91 of the 943 German legitimate theatres are operated without government subventions so that the public does in fact pay more than this sum for its drama- tie entertainment.
No defcite, estimate can be made of the exact total of these subsidies because they vary greatly from year
to year
Dr. de Courmelles has verified these facts and in several instances has followed the observation of a wide swing of the galvanometer with questions and has succeeded in accomplishing more in the reading of the patients subconscious mind in a few minutes than ordinarily he would have been able to accomplish.

Dr. de Courmelles suggests that the new research may have prac tical value in testing qualifications of sepirants for aviation and other professions requiring special gifte. He thinks it will be possible to re- duce all peychological investigation to a mathematical basis by means of the galvanometer.
