Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and controversial history of hypnotism, tracing its roots back to ancient Egypt and highlighting the seminal work of Friedrich Anton Mesmer in the 18th century. The author examines the methods used to induce hypnotic states, including Mesmer's famed "passes" and the more recent practice of fixating the subject's gaze. This exploration goes beyond mere technique, investigating the psychological underpinnings of hypnotism and its power to alter a subject's perceptions and actions. The author probes the intriguing concept of post-hypnotic suggestion, where commands given to a subject in a hypnotic state are carried out after they have been returned to their normal state, often without any conscious memory of the initial suggestion. The author presents compelling arguments for the potential of hypnotism in treating various ailments, including addiction and even physical pain, while also cautioning readers about its potential dangers if practiced irresponsibly. This book offers a compelling and insightful exploration of a complex subject that has captivated and confounded humanity for centuries.
