Hidden Depths: The Story of Hypnosis

In Hidden Depths, Robin Waterfield explores the fascinating world of hypnosis, tracing the history of this oft-misunderstood craft beginning with a passage in the book of Genesis, and continuing through his own personal experiences today. Waterfield uses the history and controversy surrounding the practice of hypnosis to gain insight into our behavior and psychology, and considers how hypnotic techniques have been absorbed into society through advertising, media and popular culture.
