Hypnotism and Disease - A Plea for Rational Psychotherapy #255574

This volume is intended to supply a need which I am convinced exists. I know of no book in our language which presents the main features of Psychotherapy in a form suitable for the intelligent lay reader of either sex} I therefore make no apology for its appearance. I venture to hope, however, that it will be of use to those of my colleagues who are anxious to attain a general understanding of the subject. If so, I trust that they will feel their interest sufficiently stimulated to proceed to a further study, by reading some of the excellent text-books available. I take this opportunity of recording my warm thanks to Mr. Fisher Unwin for his susceptibility to my sug gestions, to my wife and to Mr. W. Gibson for invaluable help in revision and proof-correcting, and to Miss K. Pilkington for preparing the Index.
