Time Distortion in Hypnosis : An Experimental and Clinical Investigation 1954, 2nd Edition
276 pages by Milton Erickson & Linn Cooper
Dr. Cooper's first article on Time Distortion appeared in
1948.The concept, as
developed by Dr. Cooper, connotes slowing of the
subjective perception of time, under rigidly set and
specifically stated conditions, by means of hypnotic
techniques which he describes in detail in this book.
The concept of time distortion and its non-therapeutic implications, is discussed,
investigated, and evaluated in the first half of this book by
Dr. Cooper. In so doing, conditions are formulated which
can-and perhaps must-be taken into consideration later
on in experimental studies of the learning process. The
clinical phenomena involved, with specific reference to
therapeutic applications, are discussed and studied by Dr.
Erickson, along with meaningful illustrative case material,
in the second half of this work.
