DESCRIPTION:
The author describes its popularity among theater audi-ences over the past 150 years with brief profiles of several famous stage hypnotists. No book on this fascinating subject would be complete without stories about hypnosis as stage entertainment. He goes on to explain Sigmund Freud's use of hypnosis as an aid to psychoanalysis, then describes the part that hypnosis plays in some modern health therapies. This intensely readable book is enhanced with more than 250 color photos and illustrations.. Here, clearly written in layman's language, is the fascinating story of hypnosis--its origins, its underlying theory, and its many practical uses in everyday life. The author presents a history of hypnosis, describing Franz Mesmer, the nineteenth-century Austrian doctor and the father of mod-ern hypnosis techniques. Here too are safe and helpful instructions for self-hypnosis to boost self-confidence or rid oneself of un-wanted habits, such as smoking or overeating

attractive book A Customer This book offers a nice treatment of the history of hypnosis for the lay person (complete with funny quips and 'hypnosis-gone-wrong' stories), along with information on its many modern day uses including forensic, sports, childbirth, stage, and medical. The book has lots of full color fun illustrations and photos. It is NOT a book for the professional (or serious student for that matter), however, would be appropriate for their clients. Recommended . Guy Anderson said Four Stars. Very good
