There have been many books written on the therapeutic value of hypnosis. Numerous volumes have dealt with its history, and many more have been concerned with its various phenomena. There has, however, been comparatively little written about the actual technique of inducing the hypnotic state. Since this phase of hypnosis has been so woefully neglected, we have not had the rapid technical development our vital science so rightfully deserves. This volume is designed to remedy that lack.This book is dedicated to those who aspire to a fuller understanding of hypnotic procedures. It is my purpose to show you, the reader, how to develop any individual into a receptive, hypnotic subject, and to give you the necessary understanding and knowledge required to achieve this end. You will also be instructed in the use of my original techniques, which have proven to be so wonderfully effective in my long experience as a professional hypnotist. A careful reading of the book will not only be rewarding because of the wealth of information contained in it, but will also assure the reader maximum professional efficiency in the exciting, and fascinating practice of professional hypnosis.
