It's hard to give a book written by a sociopath a full five stars. The book needs to be reprinted so it is not so expensive to access. "Hypnotism" is one of the more important books to read in the study of mind control, especially mind control as used by "Intelligence Agencies." Estabrooks exuses the unethical use of mind control by war departments because "war is grim business." Estabrooks justifies the intentional creation of multiple personalities because "war is grim business." The CIA today uses the strategy of claiming that project MKULTRA was just a silly experiment that was not successful. That was not the oppinion of G. H. Estabrooks when he wrote Hypnotism in 1943. His examples of the successful manipulation of the mind will attest to that. A hypnotised subject most certainly can be manipulated into unethical acts they would not do under normal conditions. One thing can be said about Estabrooks, he takes great pride in his work. He has no conscience, but he takes great pride in his work.

Dispels a lot of myths propagated by licensed hypnotherapists. Also creepy as s*** to read a first hand account of hypnotism from a military hypnotist.

should read about Estabrooks' work as he was cutting edge way back then. His views are quite different from what we know today, but it's good to know our roots. I highly recommend this book for professional hypnotists and hypnotherapists. Estabrooks is one of the big three with Erickson and Elman as the other two. Three totally different styles and three totally different ways of thinking about and using a hypnotic trance.

The basic message for this book is that hypnosis is NOT all that "safe". In fact, the last chapter describes how to "make" a Manchurian Candidate type of soldier. GREAT BOOK!

This is a classic text on hypnosis. Very hard to find and fetches a premium price, but well worth it. Vendor was a joy to deal with. I'm reading the book through for the third time now. Interesting and thought provoking.
