Synopsis

Dr. William Wesley Cook's Practical Lessons in Hypnotism was originally published in 1901, but this scholarly study is as relevant as it ever was. In spite of the skeptics, hypnotism has long been a psychological science that has earned the respect of many in the medical profession (notably, Sigmund Freud) and hypnotherapy is widely used in many treatment programs. Here, Cook approaches the subject in a constructive way, covering the history and philosophy of the science, as well as practical techniques and considerations. Most compelling are the studies of hypnotism's many applications, such as in self-healing, anesthesia, behavioral therapy, and even persuasion in the field of business. Cook's work also includes intellectual discussions on tangential-and fascinating-subjects such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and magnetic healing. Comprehensive and erudite, it promises satisfaction for the curious as well as the studious.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book has been written for those who are anxious to know the truth concerning hypnotism and who desire to learn the best methods of hypnotic practice. It is written in plain language for intellectual people, and all its statements are absolute facts and its illustrations are actual occurrences. Nothing has been exaggerated and the sensational has been strictly avoided; for the truth of hypnotism is more wonderful than the fruits of imagination. The reader is asked to dismiss the thought that hypnotism belongs to the field of legerdemain or sleight of hand; for that is far from the truth. It is a natural science, dealing with mental and physical actions; and the exercise of its power is the result of a natural endowment which all are capable of developing. Those who study hypnotism and become acquainted with its laws and phenomena cannot help but realize the great benefits to be obtained from it in social, intellectual and business life.
