Dave Elman

Hello Everyone,

I have studied a lot of materials on hypnosis online, taken several dvd home study courses, bought and read several books, and learned to perform hypnosis without the assistance of a physical instructor. I have watched hundreds of videos then just went out to the bars and practiced what I learned. I go out every week and hypnotize several people a night in loud, crowded, distracting conditions.

I am very confident in my skills and knowledge, but I must say after reading Dave Elman's book (cover to cover) "Hypnotherapy" and listening to all his tapes on his "medical hypnosis course" I am so impressed with his training that I have adopted it as the most creditable and fundamental training that I have found.

After all, when you listen to those tapes of Elman and all those doctor's discussing and performing hypnosis on real clients I can't help but find it the most creditable information and training available.

Now my question is this: Does anyone know of any other resources that are available that can be considered in the same class as the Elman training materials? If so I would love to hear about it. I am a life long learner and former educator by profession and I am interested in strong foundational material on hypnosis such as the Elman works that establish the foundation upon which all modern day hypnosis is based on. Thanks.
