About the Author
Michael D. Preston, J.D., Ph.D., first became familiar with hypnosis at the 5th Army Rehabilitation Center in Sorento, Italy, while serving in the U.S. Armed Services.
In 1947, he studied psychology and hypnotherapy with Lewis R. Wolberg, M.D., a clinical professor of psychiatry and chairman of the board at New York Medical College. From there, Dr. Preston went to Chicago, then to Los Angeles, working for the Veterans Administration.
By 1960, he was made a staff member of the American College of Medical Hypnotists; conducted seminars in the U.S. and Europe with William J. Bryan, Jr., M.D., Ph.D.; wrote and edited for the "Journal of the American Institute of Hypnosis."
He then founded the Institute of Medical Hypnosis in Chicago in 1966. Later, he moved his practice to Phoenix, Arizona, and with the assistance of William McGrath, M.D., Dr. Preston used hypnosis to treat not only emotional and physical problems, but to treat the terminally ill patients by applying the theory of psychoneuroimmunology.
Presently, the author is affiliated with the National Society of Hypnotists, the International Society for Investigative and Forensic Hypnosis, the National Board for Hypnotherapy and Hypnotic Anesthesiology, and the American Association of Behavioral Therapists, the National Guild of Hypnotists, and the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education. Dr. Preston, also known as the “Miracle Doctor,” has conducted seminars in over 40 cities in the United States, Canada, and England.

Best hypnosis book on the market,
This review is from: Hypnosis: Medicine of the Mind: A Complete Manual on Hypnosis for the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Practitioner (Paperback)
As a registered Hypnotherapist, I have read many books on hypnosis and this is one of the best. It covers the detailed workings of the induction techniques, deepening processes and similar items. It does an excellent job of explaining how to tell when the person is responding and how deep they are going. The emphasis is on medical hypnosis but it can easily be applied to any situations. If I had to get rid of the hypnosis books in my library and could only keep one then this is the one that I would keep.
