During my more than twenty years as a practicing psychiatrist and neurologist, I have used hypnosis almost daily, therapeutically as well as for diagnosis. Aware of its limitations as well as its advantages, I have therefore been on guard against—and I have vigorously worked against—those who misrepresent hypnosis, or utilize it for entertainment, or becloud it with illusion and false hope.
I was pleased, then, when Channel Press asked my opinion of this book before they determined to publish it. My recommendation to them, as you see, was to issue it. Indeed, I was so impressed by Mr. Heise’s approach, understanding, and excellent and ethical presentation that I offered to add a few introductory words written from the point of view of a physician specializing in psychiatry.
As you read into the book, you will realize that the author is teaching you to use some of the techniques of hypnosis and self-hypnosis to change deep-rooted habit patterns. He will tell you that this method is painless. He will tell you that it is safe. Some readers will wonder whether this is true, and may hesitate to apply the author’s suggestions.
