Dave Elman was one of the rare teachers who could both talk and "walk his talk" superbly. His understanding and skills in communication were profound.  When he turned his attention to teaching the benefits that hypnosis can bring to relieve suffering in all areas of human life, he did so with masterful directness, clarity and hands-on practicality.  

For more than a decade in the 1950s-60s he taught doctors and dentists to use hypnosis to help their patients, and fortunately his students persuaded him to write a book - the book now known as "Hypnotherapy" by Dave Elman.  This book has been published by Westwood for over 30 years - in a beautifully bound format, it is an essential for every hypnotherapist.

Roy Hunter says: "The Elman book was a required text at the Charles Tebbetts Hypnotism Training Institute, and it took only a few pages for me to understand why. Elman taught hypnosis to doctors and dentists for several years. In the book, he also shares some of his classroom experiences".

Originally published in 1964, this book is truly one of the classics of modern hypnotherapy. It should be in the library of every practising hypnosis professional.

Hailed as a classic in its field, Elman's work is a forceful and dynamic presentation of hypnosis as a lightning-fast and amazingly effective tool with a wide range of therapies. A useful and practical summation of the teaching of one of the pioneers in modern hypnotherapy.

Elman has trained more doctors to use hypnosis than anyone else.
