"Hypnosis is the 'mother' of psychotherapy. Pintar and Lynn have
done a great service to the field. Hypnosis: A Brief History
is a comprehensive, well-organized academic treatise that surveys
the development of hypnosis from its birth to its contemporary
maturity. Destined to be a classic, it is a welcome addition to the
library of students of hypnosis."
-Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D., The Milton H. Erickson
Foundation
"The fascination of hypnosis, the shifts in its use and
understanding over time, and the importance of scientific and
societal influence are all captured in this engaging and accessible
book. The intrigue of hypnosis and the passion of those who seek to
understand it are hallmarks of this brief history."
-Kevin M. McConkey, The University of Newcastle,
Australia
"Pintar & Lynn's book is simply superb. In one
convenient package, truths about hypnosis are revealed and myths
are exposed. Readers come to understand how hypnosis is useful for
treating pain, anxiety, and other medical and psychological
conditions. But, we also learn, it can be dangerous in the hands of
incompetent or unknowledgable practitioners, especially when it
leads to the production of pseudomemories. The winding and
complicated history of the study of hypnosis is not only
fascinating in its own right, but it serves as a starting point for
glimpsing the future of this captivating phenomenon."
-Elizabeth Loftus, University of California,
Irvine
