CODE, EMILE (18S7-1926), French psychotherapeutist, was born at Troyes, France, on Feb. 26, 1857. From 1882 to 191 o he was a chemist at Troyes, and studied hypnotism and suggestion from 1901 onwards with Bernheim and Liebault. He then developed his own psychotherapeutical method of healing. In 191 o he established a free clinic at Nancy and there put his theories into practice. Coue's system of therapeutics deals prin cipally with the power of imagination as opposed to that of the will, and he claimed that by means of auto-suggestion ideas which tend to cause illness and disease may be eliminated from the will. He further claimed to have effected organic changes. Coue in variably stated with emphasis that he was not primarily a healer, but one who taught others to heal themselves. His teaching and methods became widely known and he delivered lectures in Eng land and the United States. His famous formula, "Every day, and in every way, I am becoming better and better," is now proverbial (see PSYCHOTHERAPY). He died at Nancy on July 2, 1926. See C. Baudouin, Suggestion and Auto-suggestion (192o).
