Overview

---

Dave Elman was an entertainer and radio broadcaster before becoming fully involved with Hypnosis. He was influenced by his father who was a hypnotist and chiefly taught hypnosis to medical doctors and dentists for pain relief and removal of emotional based conditions like allergies, stuttering and obesity. There is very little material available save for a book and some audio recordings of his trainings. Even by today's standards his book Hypnotherapy (sometimes called Findings in Hypnosis) is a remarkable piece of work.
