New Thought, and the related movement, Christian Science, were based on the integration of the more traditional Christian ideas with nineteenth century metaphysical traditions.
At this point the controversy that delineated the split between New Thought and Christian Science was characterized by the dispute between Mary Eddy and Edward J. Arens, her former student, and Julius Dresser, who continued along with his wife and son to dispute Eddy over the origin of certain ideas.
While New Thought is a loose conglomeration of a variety of individual religious movements, there is an overall sense of unity that delineates the movement and makes a definite distinction between New Thought and Christian Science.

Devotees of the New Thought of course object that they do not put their Patients into the hypnotic sleep, and that they do not try to control the mind but to benefit it by offering suggestions which may be freely accepted or as freely rejected.
Psycho-analysis as practised by Freud and his school is nearer the New Thought than suggestive therapeutics or hypnotic therapeutics, for the psycho-analysts do not practise hypnotism or mere suggestionism, their efforts being to understand the hidden motive or mental cause of disease.

New Thought: Seen by many, when combined with Eastern mysticism, as a major source from which the current New Age Movement evolved, New Thought began as a spiritual and religious movement in the mid-1800s.
Other aspects of New Thought were derived from Christianity, Western occultism, transcendentalism, and even concepts of psychology as they had developed at that time.
The most popular writer on New Thought was Ralph Waldo Trine, and his most famous book was In Tune with the Infinite, first published in 1897.

popular philosophical movement with religious implications; it affirms "the creative power of constructive thinking." A successor of New England transcendentalism, New Thought grew out of the healing practices of P. Quimby and the "mental science" of W. Evans, a Swedenborgian minister.
Composed of many smaller groups, such as Divine Science, Unity (until 1922), and Home of Truth, the alliance is held together by one central teaching, namely, that people through the constructive use of their minds can attain freedom, power, health, prosperity, and all good, molding their bodies as well as the circumstances of their lives.
Beyond this unifying principle of the constructive power of the mind and the prevailing optimism of the movement, there are a great variety of diverse and often mutually contradictory ideas in New Thought.
