PREFACE
INQUIRIES
show that many medical men are interested
in hypnotism, chiefly, it would appear, as an answer to
the problem of finding a quicker method than is generally
available of dealing with the flood of psychoneurotic
and psychosomatic disorders so prevalent to-day.
Disappointment is often expressed when it is explained
that modern hypnotherapy does not consist of merely
learning some ' secret formula' to induce a state of
trance, and then dispelling symptoms only by direct
command.
The author believes that an entirely new approach is
required, not only to the psychoneuroses and associated
psychosomatic disorders, but also to hypnotic suggestion
and the role it plays in the aetiology and treatment of
these conditions.
He has therefore set out his theories and methods of
treatment in the form of a thesis, and trusts this will
not only assist those medical men who wish to practise
treatment by hypnotic suggestion, but will also stimulate
further interest and research in the subject.
