203 pages including index and several black and white photographic plates. Gives an up-to-date approach to an ancient art, in which hypnosis is regarded as a potent and multi-faceted tool which can be used to modify patient-reactions resulting from surgery and complex treatments, such as coronary care and renal dialysis. Obstetrics and dentistry excepted, its use to replace normal anaesthetic methods is nearly obsolete today. The hospital doctor who realizes the reciprocal effects of severe illness on his patient's psyche yet deprecates the routine use of tranquilizers, will find this book invaluable.

Binding is solid and square, covers have sharp corners, exterior shows no blemishes, text/interior is clean and free of marking of any kind. The glue in this perfect bound book is over 50 years old and is likely " In 1954, Burgess had joined the British Colonial Service as a teacher and education officer in Malaya, initially stationed at Kuala Kangsar in Perak. Here he taught at the Malay College (now Malay College Kuala Kangsar MCKK), modeled on English public school lines. In addition to his teaching duties, he was a housemaster in charge of students of the preparatory school, who were housed at a Victorian mansion known as "King's Pavilion". A variety of the music he wrote there was influenced by the country, notably Sinfoni Melayu for orchestra and brass band, which included cries of Merdeka (independence) from the audience. No score, however, is extant. Burgess attained fluency in Malay, spoken and written, achieving distinction in the examinations in the language set by the Colonial Office. He was rewarded with a salary increase for his proficiency in the language. He devoted some of his free time in Malaya to creative writing "as a sort of gentlemanly hobby, because I knew there wasn't any money in it," and published his first novels: "Time for a Tiger", "The Enemy in the Blanket" and "Beds in the East". These became known as The Malayan Trilogy and were later published in one volume as "The Long Day Wanes"." -- From Black Cat Hill Books' elaborate description. First Edition Thus [1966]
