The Manual of Hypnotism

"In the early part of the century the discoveries of Dr. Mesmer were viewed as a branch of medicine that savoured of sorcery and black magic. History shows that such ideas die hard, but truth will prevail through hard work, experimentation and progress. The hypnotist is now one of the most important specialists in the field of modern medicine. The science of hypnotism is practised on a world wide scale in hospitals, clinics and homes. It is used in surgery, dentistry and child-birth for self help and a host of other purposes in curative medicine. The author, Desmond Dunne, deals comprehensively and clearly with every aspect of the principles and practice of hypnotism" Contents Include: The Evolution of Hypnotism Varieties of Hypnotic Phenomena The Therapeutic Benefits of Hypnotism Hypnotism in Everyday Life The Development of Hypnotic Power Hypnotic Tests and Experiments The Loose Ends of Hypnotism The Future of Hypnotism
