    CHAPTER 2, WHY I STARTED TEACHING HYPNOSIS

    CHAPTER 3 HOW TO STUDY HYPNOSIS


    CHAPTER 5 THE HANDSHAKE TECHNIQUE
    CHAPTER 7 TWO-FINGER EYE-CLOSURE METHOD

    ELMAN: She has better anesthesia than any anesthesia


    that's ever given in a dental office because
    she has such a perfect state of hypnosis . . .
    Now [addressing patient] when I have
    you open your eyes, your mouth is going
    to feel better than it's felt all day and all
    week and you're going to feel so good.
    Open your eyes and see how good you feel.
    How do you feel?
    PATIENT: Fine.
    ELMAN: What did you feel while the doctor was work-
    ing in your mouth?
    PATIENT: Nothing. Let me ask you something. Why
    do I remember what you said?
    ELMAN: Because you aren't unconscious in hypnosis.
    It's not sleep, you know. I must have contact with you,
    otherwise you couldn't follow instructions

    * *
    In the above instance, hypnosis was obtained
    immedi-
    ately. The patient was a grown woman, acting the part
    of a child in a dentist's office. She had a vivid enough
    imagina-
    tion so that she was able to see herself as a child—and
    could be approached at a child's level for the purpose of
    demonstra-
    tion. The "let's-pretend" or "let's-play-a-game"
    approach works very well with young children. With
    older ones, or with adults, it is generally wise to use a
    more sophisticated type of indirection to bypass the
    critical faculty. It can be seen in another class excerpt:
    ELMAN: [Addressing patient]: Every time you
    come
    to this office, I notice how tense you get,
    and if I could teach you how to relax, you
    wouldn't mind anything we have to do.
    Suppose I teach you how to relax. Would
    you like that?
    PATIENT: Yes.
    ELMAN Take a good long deep breath. Now open your
    eyes wide. I'm going to pull your eyelids
    shut with my forefinger and my thumb.
    Now I want you to relax the muscles that
    are under-
    neath my fingers. Now I will take my
    hand away. Relax your eye muscles to
    the point where they just won't work.
    Then, when you're sure those eye muscles
    won't work, test them and make sure they
    won't work. Test them hard. That's right.
    Now let that feeling of relaxation go right
    down to your toes, and when I lift your
    hand and drop it, that hand will be so
    relaxed it will just plop down into your
    lap. And just let it plop. That's it . . .
    Now [addressing class], in order not to
    have her feel discomfort, it is necessary that
    you do give the proper suggestions. This
    is where you put in your selective
    thinking . . . [to patient again] Any work
    that I do from this point on in your mouth
    or any other part of your body, you just
    won't mind. Just stay relaxed like that.
    Make sure at all times that your eye
    muscles won't work and you have
    relaxation all through your body and you
    won't feel a thing . . . [to class] Now,
    gentlemen, I'm going to show you the
    degree of anesthesia that she has already
    as a result of that sug-
    gestion . . . [to patient] I'm going to stroke
    your arm in the area where I'm going to
    work and you just won't feel anything.
    You'll know I'm working there, but
    nothing will bother, nothing will
    disturb. I'm ready to do my work now
    and you have complete anesthesia in your
    right arm . . . [to class] Watch me make
    this test . . . That was an allis clamp to the
    third notch . . . [to patient] Now, when I
    have you open your eyes notice how good
    you feel. Open your eyes. How do ynu
    feel?
    PATIENT: Fine.
    ELMAN: What did you feel?
    PATIENT: Well, I felt you do something. But I didn't
    feel any pain.
