In 1979 Mesmer's Mémoire sur la découverte du magnestisme animal appeared in Paris. Although Mesmer believed in physical rather than psychological causes, his work in healing through suggestion marks the beginning of modern psychotherapy. In 1879 several state mental hospitals opened in the United States, amid controversies between the medical profession and the public over the treatment of mental illness. Ernest Jones, a pioneer in the establishment of psychonanalysis and author of the most comprehensive and authoritative biography of Freud, was born that same year.
1979年，梅斯梅尔的《动物磁性发现回忆录》在巴黎出版。尽管梅斯梅尔相信身体原因而非心理原因，但他通过暗示进行治疗的工作标志着现代心理治疗的开端。1879年，美国几家州立精神病院开业，当时医学界和公众在精神疾病治疗问题上存在争议。同一年，精神分析学创立的先驱、弗洛伊德最全面且权威传记的作者欧内斯特·琼斯出生。
