The seamier side of hypnosis

Remember the movie "KIM" (1950) with Errol Flynn and Dean Stockwell (KIM) as Kim sees the broken pot being put back together? The warning not to let some one gesture in a certain way? Well G.H. Estabrooks covers it all from that angle. Although covering a large range of information he concentrates on what may be the negatives as shown in the table of contents. 1. Meet Hypnotism 2. The Introduction of Hypnotism 3. Usual Phenomena in Hypnotism 4. Posthypnotic Suggestion and Autosuggestion 5. Hypnotic States in Everyday Life 6. The Basic Nature of Hypnotism 7. Medial Uses of Hypnotism 8. Hypnotism in Crime 9. Hypnotism in Warfare 10. Hypnotism and Human Affairs 11. Conclusion

Multiple Personality 'Perfect Spy'

This is the 'Grandfather' of mind manipulation and probably inspired 'Manchurian Candidate.' Too bad so little is included about the suggestions used to access and influence the perfect spy 'personality' beyond the conscious knowledge and control of the hypnotic subject.
