Written with the precision and authority of a seasoned researcher, the text chronicles the historical development of hypnotic theory while critically evaluating competing schools of thought.

The result is a dense, authoritative, and intellectually demanding work that remains a foundational text in the scientific literature on hypnosis and human suggestibility.
