A CRITICAL History of Hypnotism: THE UNAUTHORIZED STORY
The author is a European-trained hypno-therapist (now retired) who graduated in 1983 from the "Institute for Applied Hypnosis" (Instituut Voor Toegepaste Hypnose) in Amsterdam, Holland. After exclusively devoting more than twelve years of his life to researching most of the English, Dutch, German and French literature of the past two centuries on the subject, he embarked upon a unique mission: to uncover and reveal, for the very first time, the true reason why hypnotism has always been almost universally regarded by both the public as well as health care professionals in such a negative fashion.
