Explorations in hypnosis.

by Dave Elman

A classic in its field, EXPLORATIONS IN HYPNOSIS erases many of the misconceptions and superstitions that surround hypnosis. Techniques and principles are presented as they have been taught by Mr. Elman to over three thousand physicians and dentists. For many years hypnosis was strictly limited to stage and parlor performances but, with the help of Dave Elman, it has finally been allowed to take its place with the other medical sciences. The story of hypnosis is told here by the man who has been the world's greatest authority. He answers questions that have been in the mind of man for years, such as: CAN HYPNOSIS HELP SEXUAL PROBLEMS? CAN EVERYONE BE HYPNOTIZED? WHAT ABOUT SELF-HYPNOSIS? WHAT IS THE "ESDAILE" STATE? HOW DOES SELF-HYPNOSIS WORK? HOW CAN MEDICINE MAKE USE OF HYPNOSIS? WHEN WAS HYPNOSIS FIRST USED? WHAT IS SOMNAMBULISM? IS THERE DANGER OF NOT WAKING FROM HYPNOSIS? WILL A HYPNOTIC SUBJECT DO THINGS AGAINST HIS BELIEFS? For centuries hypnosis has been a mystery. Dave Elman, a true explorer in an unknown field, shows us that hypnosis is simply another tool to be used for man's benefit.
