Author: Melvin Powers / Year: / Genre: Self helpPublished in 1961, A Practical Guide to Self-Hypnosis by Melvin Powers is a self help book that aims to
bring the basic techniques of hypnosis to the ordinary reader and harness its legendary powers to
one's own advantage.
In fact, all forms of hypnosis are essentially self-hypnosis since the process does not work without
the overt or covert cooperation of the person who is being hypnotized. The main difference is that
all other forms of hypnosis require the guidance of a therapist or hypnotist while the one
suggested here is a self-guided procedure.
