      Foreword

      I first encountered hypnosis during my university medical training. I read that hypnosis is a legitimate technique and that the hypnotic state, or trance, exists somewhere between alertness and unconsciousness.

      Later, Ben showed me Dave Elman’s book Hypnotherapy and I became more comfortable with his concept of hypnosis as simply an alteration in the state of mind, or altered mind-set. This is consistent with the fact that people can remember what happens during hypnosis (unless they fall asleep!) and also that people cannot be persuaded to perform acts unless they really want to do so.

      Armed with this new knowledge, I embarked on my own journey into hypnotherapy, which is described in my Case History at the end of this book.

      One thing this book helped crystallize in my understanding of how the brain works was the concept of subconscious - I had always rejected this term as meaningless and unnecessary, being equivalent to, and replaceable, by unconscious. However, reading this tome led me to realise that we need this extra level between conscious and unconscious to explain phenomena such as being able to perform automatically, without consciously remembering, acts in our everyday experience such as dressing, cleaning our teeth and putting things away in their usual place - things we have difficulty recalling having done when asked, yet were done in full consciousness.

      Even our ability to carry out complex actions such as driving a car need input from a memory bank that is being continuously tapped - a source that must be closer to consciousness and more easily accessed than an amorphous unconscious. It is also a much more satisfactory (or perhaps the only) way to explain the phenomenon of post hypnotic suggestion - the compulsion to perform an act that has been stored in the brain, which is then subsequently unconsciously triggered by a preset stimulus. This post hypnotic suggestion can result in performance of a task that can be remembered afterwards but which is not fully explainable by the ‘subject’.

      I commend Ben’s book to you as providing a lucid explanation of hypnosis and hypnotherapy, and I hope it
