Garden Murder Case trailer 1936
Philo is the name of the lead detective. Philo also means Love but it's the first half of Philosophy. Meaning Love of Knowledge or Love of Wisdom.
In this case the "Philo" refers to Eastern wisdom as in meditation - only it's presented as a
"pagan glean in the eye" as evil hypnosis to murder people!
This is also known as the "psychic vampire" that I have exposed as the secret of our patriarchy problem of modern civilization.
Only in this movie it's turned around - the "wisdom" of the East is presented as a "deep deep sleep" that a person will "never wake up from" is actually death and thus evil.
So the evil killer has secretly traveled to "the far East" to learn hypnosis as a "glean in his eye" - that in the movie relies on a pocket mirror reflecting light to blind someone's vision....
The detective plays along until the hypnotist finally admits his intention to kill the detective - when as a hypnotized victim he is supposed to leap to his death. At this point he turns around to reveal he had been faking it the whole time. The killer is then killed by a nearby cop waiting and witnessing the confession such that "justifiable homicide" has now occurred.
In an earlier part of the movie the evil doctor - with his nurse sidekick - is claimed to be under "psychic amnesia" as a shock faint situation. I had never heard that term before!
But it obviously refers to what was demonstrated to Nixon when he visited China - using acupuncture is amnesia - and thus "psychic amnesia."

Wow it's in the academic peer-reviewed science of 1909!!
hysterical fugue and complete autopsychic amnesia.
anterograde amnesia is the inability to create new memories after an event that caused amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. This is in contrast to retrograde amnesia, where memories created prior to the event are lost while new memories can still be created. Both can occur together in the same patient.
OK it gets cited... and in 1993: Loewenstein, R. J. (1993). Psychogenic amnesia and psychogenic fugue: A comprehensive review. In D. Spiegel (Ed.), Dissociative disorders: A clinical review (pp. 45–78). The Sidran Press.
fascinating. So this is also the name for multiple personality disorders -now called "dissociative disorder"
the relationship of these conditions to severe psychic trauma
So this gets us into MKULTRA of course as Ewen Cameron, working for the CIA and relying on William Sargent, was experimenting on this....as torture.
Sure enough Sargent focuses on a similar condition
Their incidence rose appreciably in the First World War with the identification of shell-shock and neurasthenia. The Second World War saw the collection of accurate data, and combat stress was treated efficiently, although few soldiers returned to fighting units.
ConclusionsA constant relationship exists between the incidence of the total killed and wounded and the number of psychiatric casualties, mediated by the nature of the fighting and quality of the troops involved.
an increased incidence of somatoform disorders such as neurocirculatory asthenia
also known as Da Costa's syndrome or effort syndrome, is a condition characterized by palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, tremors, and sweating after slight physical exertion. It is often considered a form of anxiety disorder and was historically common among soldiers
psychoneurosis
Da Costa's syndrome, also known as soldier's heart among other names, was a syndrome or a set of symptoms similar to those of heart disease.
The condition was named after Jacob Mendes Da Costa who investigated and described the disorder in 1871
the term is no longer in common use by any medical agencies and has generally been superseded by more specific diagnoses, some of which have a medical basis.

psychiatric cases had experienced greater combat intensity
post-Vietnam syndrome,...an enduring psychological disorder. The diagnosis of PTSD was developed as a consequence of, or some might say as a stimulus to, these observations
By the Second World War, suggestions that psychiatric breakdown was due to a failure of personal morality or social degeneration had largely been abandoned. In their place, psychiatrists and military strategists sought measurable causes such as quality of training.
