Product Description

Product Description

This book paints a clear picture of what hypnosis is and is not, what it can and cannot accomplish, and how it can be misused and abused. Baker describes its potential for preventing or arresting pain and outlines future directions for the role of suggestion in the clinic and the laboratory. This engrossing, factual book is a definitive study of hypnosis that illuminates this very unique aspect of creative human behaviour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent summary of theories of hypnosis, 6 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Contrary to the previous reviewer, the book is extensively documented with references to the work of leading hypnosis researchers (especially ch. 3, "Hypnosis: Recent and Contemporary Views"). The book has its flaws (search for "Robert Baker" on the web to find some of them), but this is an excellent introduction to the subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good summary of theories of hypnosis, 18 Nov 1996
By A Customer
This book is an excellent summary of theories of hypnosis with an emphasis on criticisms of state theories. The author argues for social/cognitive non-state theories. The book is marred only by the fact that many passages are lifted directly from the authors being summarized, without being noted as such.

2.0 out of 5 stars Opinionated, with no proof or examples, 16 Jul 1998
By A Customer
If you are looking for a book that shows the history and development of hypnosis this book will prove to be frustrating and boring. The author informs us at length of how erroneous the thinking has been about hypnisis throughout the history of the civilized world. But there are no case studies, no facts, no scientific data in this book. If you are looking to be informed about hypnosis through facts and not opinions this is not the book for you. I suspect that the author has spent a lot of time in lecturing and giving opinions without ever being challenged.

The nonstate interpretation of hypnotism dominates scientific literature on the subject but there are few readable, popular accounts. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST book on Hypnosis, bar none.
I learned more about Hypnosis from this book than any other that I have read. A completely different approach than most.
