About the author
Leander Edmund Whipple is credited as the author of Mental Healing, reissued by Legare Street Press in 2023 from an earlier text. The book sets out a mind-body approach to healing, discussing prayer, hypnosis, and suggestion as techniques and including case studies presented as successful outcomes. Legare Street Press specializes in republishing older, often out-of-copyright works, which suggests Mental Healing originates from an earlier period of the New Thought or mental-healing movement rather than being a recent composition. Beyond the content of this single reissued title, the catalogue provides no verifiable biographical information about Whipple, so no claims are made here about his dates, background, or other writings.
