About the book
Dr. John Kappas' Professional Hypnotism Manual is more than just another book about hypnosis. It is instead a comprehensive system for looking at people's behavior as a whole under an umbrella that is best described as "subconscious behaviorism." In this text, Dr. Kappas completely redefines our understanding of hypnosis and how it works with his "Message Unit Theory of Hypnosis", as well as introduces his revolutionary model of "Emotional and Physical Suggestibility and Sexuality."

HMI's accredited college expanded its influence Internationally when in 2006 it began offering on the World Wide Web an unprecedented offer to "Learn How to Hypnotize Others…
