Product Description

Review

"Robin Waterfield's "Hidden Depths: The Story of Hypnosis, is undoubtedly the most thorough and informative book about hypnosis on the market today. Written in an engagingly intelligent and entertaining style, this book details the history of the field of hypnosis. The author's descriptions of a remarkable cast of charlatans, eccentrics, and dedicated professionals eventually leads us from Egypt though Mesmer and up to the present, where the author provides a remarkably clear picture of the current state of the field. Professionals and non-professionals alike will come away from this book with a more complete understanding of the history, controversies, applications, and potentials of hypnosis than they could acquire anywhere else.."
-Ronald A. Havens, co-author of Hypnotherapy Scripts
""Hidden Depths is, without any doubt, the single most informative and exciting treatise regarding hypnosis and hypnotherapy I have ever seen. I suggest you memorize it!."
-Stephen Lankton, MSW, DAHB


Product Description

Controversy has always surrounded the world of hypnosis. The outlandish claims that over-zealous believers make are matched in intensity only by the howls of derision that they provoke from sceptics. Robin Wakefield's careful analysis casts light on several millennia of debate, articulating the many views of hypnosis' defenders and antagonists, illuminating the theories and practices of hypnosis through superb research and personal anecdotes. He brings the characters, the science and the psychology, the drama and the dreams magically alive. Thought provoking, engaging, and dazzlingly written, Hidden Depths is the definitive history of hypnosis.

First Sentence
When you stop to think about it, it's very strange that at a few well-chosen words quite a number of us - perhaps all of us - can fall into a sleep-like state in which we are more open than usual to suggestions from a person we trust, and capable of some unusual mental and physical feats. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars hidden Depths, 17 Jun 2005
As someone new to hypnosis, currently in training, I found this book to be absolutely fascinating. It explains just about everything to do with hypnosis, from where it's believed to have originated to modern day and its uses. I would recommend this book to anyone, even if its only a passing interest in hypnosis.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cracking read, 24 Nov 2005
A beautifully presented book. R. Waterfield knows what he is writing about. This book is very well researched and easy to read. It delves into the secrets of hypnotism, its history, how it was used by doctors, presented by film makers, and fiction writers; it explores the theories put forward by its practitioners and critics and the most up to date views on the subject and how it is practiced today. The mystery on hypnotism still remains after you've read it and so his book has revived my enthusiasm to explore hypnosis and hypnotherapy even deeper. Fascinating!

Well written and researched, Waterfield's style is rational and informative. The book covers mesmerism, victorian hypnotists, Milton Erickson, hypnotherapy and loads more.
A riveting read.
