the best history of Hypnotism and Mesmerism I've ever read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I've been reading at Mesmerism and Hypnosis for years and this is the best single volume yet. This one gives a very clear lineal history of the transition from Mesmerism to Hypnotism, listing WHO added/deleted/discovered WHAT to the process.I think it would be most interesting to go back to the early practices and re-examine them for further use..the various practices did different things and had different uses!At any rate, you needn't hesitate to buy this one if the historical subject is on interest to you. Very highly recommended. Nicely done.
