True Hypnotism: Understanding its Science and Mastering its Art is a carefully researched work presenting all the significant people, events, and theories in the fascinating history of hypnotism. Whilst there are other books on the subject, True Hypnotism presents this material in a completely new way, leading the reader step-by-step to a clear understanding of what hypnotism actually is. First the major historical and contemporary definitions and explanations of hypnosis are presented, critiqued, and found to be deficient -- in failing to provide scientific specificity or practical guidelines for the modern reader. Having set out the background, True Hypnotism then offers a clear explanation of what hypnotism really is and how it actually works. Because it combines the history, biography, theory, and practice of hypnotism in an innovative way, the work will be welcomed by the curious layman, as well as scientists, doctors, psychologists, and beginning students of hypnotism. Even experienced practitioners will find much to interest and enlighten them.

"I really enjoyed reading this book, which thoroughly covers the history and current practices of hypnotism better than any other book I've read."
