5.0 out of 5 stars The key work by one of the century's true Masters., 18 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Dave Elman was a contemporary and sometimes rival of Milton Erickson. Sadly this book represents his only work (please someone prove me wrong there!), written at the end of his life, when he knew his time was growing short.

He began learning hypnosis when his terminally ill father was greatly comforted by a friend of the family who was a stage hypnotist. A few twists and turns, a career as a stage hypnotist, radio presenter and then slightly reluctant lecturer and researcher later, and he released this book which is a fine counterpoint to Erickson's work, emphasising the science where Milton supplied the art.

Whilst Elman believed that hypnosis should only be taught to doctors and dentists, his theories about _what actually causes hypnosis to occur_ offer valuable insights into the process of trance, to anyone seriously interested in the subject.

This is not a beginner's book, but if you're familiar with Erickson and more traditional methods of hypnosis, this book will blow your old assumptions back open, and leave you a much better practitioner by the time you pick up the pieces!

Elman's finer points were thoroughly practical: he expected his students to be using it with most patients, and taught that if you can't induce anethesia within 60 seconds, then you're not doing it right, yet! Reading this book will allow you to know what elements are actually required for trance, so you can throw away the old script books and create your own inductions.

Readable, entertaining and very thought provoking; if you consider yourself a serious hypnotist, then this is a man to study with all the admiration of Erickson - more for each, in the light of the other.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Book for Hypnotherapists, 21 Mar 2001
I own and moderate three of the most succesful hypnosis discussion communities on the internet. Elman has been repeatedly voted as the second most influential person in the history of modern hypnotherapy (besides Erickson). This book is not for the beginner as many of the techniques are now very dated. I wouldn't recommend it as a general purpose introduction but it's a valuable resource on hypnoanalysis and medical hypnosis, from a simple and practical perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy going amazing book, 5 April 2007
By S. gupta - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I was first given this book at our hypnotherapy session, my first reaction on opening was "oh great, this looks like a dry textbook". The green cover, and the serif font really didnt inspire.

But boy was I wrong! - this is a fantastic book written in an engaging style and goes into some detail about his eye closure technique. I wonder whether some of the success of this method had a social pressure element in the demonstrations with subjects infront of groups of doctor- i.e. the subject expected to be hypnotised easily and so was.

Definitely worth a read.

Unfortunately this book is now very out of date. It belongs to the school of thought that hypnosis is a science which should only be taught to the medical profession. Read more
