This is an edited volume with selected papers by eminent hypnotherapists and philosophers. The book is divided in three parts. Part I discusses the history and theoretical aspects of hypnosis, mind-body continuum, and consciousness as a key psychological entity in the context of hypnosis. Part II presents elaborate clinical case studies and research papers which bring out specific procedures of hypnosis delineating the principles of trance induction, imagery and suggestions in different medical and psychological problem situations. Finally, Part III offers some Indian philosophical views on consciousness to the scientific community that is faced with a challenge to unravel functioning of consciousness.
