Product Description
We all have a picture of hypnotism in our heads, a result of popular culture messages over the years. A man, cloaked and looking somewhat sinister, stands over the fearful subject. He waves a gold pocket watch in front of him and quietly drones “You are getting sleepy, veeery sleepy.” Soon the subject slumps in his chair and he seems to take on a zombie-like state in which he is compelled to obey the hypnotist. Whether he is asked to quack like a duck or begin gyrating like Elvis Presley, he is now merely a puppet of the hypnotist. When he is awakened, often with the snap of a finger, he will remember nothing about his actions. And those who have watched all this have been treated to a great show.
It is true that hypnotism has a long history of being used for entertainment. But it has an equally long history of being used in a therapeutic way, treating everything from chronic pain to addictions. It is this facet of hypnotism that we will be examining.
