"Hypnotism is the art of creating the illusion of "Hypnosis".
The illusion of "hypnosis" is created by stage hypnotists and exploited by the "hypnotherapist".
There is no better way to find out more about Alex Tsanders approach to th topic of hypnotism than to read the book:
Alex Tsander has for many years sought to educate the public inthe realities of hypnotism, exposing and dismantling the myths of "hypnosis". In this his extensive, broad and deep knowledge of the scientific literature on hypnotism is of central importance Brittain's foremost expert on the literature of hypnotism and research, Dr Graham Wagstaff said of an earlier piece by him in 1995 :
"If only all writers in this area wrote as clearl and with as
much background knowledge and attention to detail."
This book is not a mere "how to" of hypnotism, although the account of
techniques which it comprises may be regarded as such. Rather, it is an explanation
of how the social psychological interpretation of hypnotic behaviour is applied by
the author as both an overview and guide to the conduct of hypnotic
procedures. There are many books on hypnotism. There is no other book on the topic that is like this.
The book is 200 pages, is extensively referenced and illustrated with many photographs, drawings and figures,
is printed and distributed worldwide by Blurb Inc and costs £10.95
in paperback plus shipping. A had-back edition is also available.
Dont judge the authors views upon the basis of second-hand accounts. Read what he actually says for yourself. Then make your own mind up.
