The Art of Hypnosis: Mastering Basic Techniques

Hypnosis is often misunderstood, and this guide sets out to explain it clearly to anyone who wants to practise it. It draws on a training course developed by Charles Tebbetts, a figure widely respected in hypnotherapy, and presents that material in an updated form. The author, Roy Hunter, was chosen to carry on Tebbetts' work, and the course has served as the foundation for many hypnotherapy programmes in America and Europe.

The book walks readers through the basic techniques of the craft. It explains how to word suggestions so they take effect, and how to choose the approach that suits each client. Practical detail on running a session is at the centre of the text, so a beginner can follow it step by step while an experienced practitioner can refine their results.
