The authors set up and have taught the clinical hypnosis courses at the University of Sheffield (Dept of Psychiatry) and University College London (Dept of Psychology) since 1990, teaching GPs and psychiatrists as well as dentists and psychologists. Therefore, they are uniquely well placed to be able to carry on the "medical and dental" tradition of Hartland (although Dr Heap is a psychologist - but he is a fellow of the RSM), which is seen as crucial, while understanding the interest of the other readers who have certainly bought and used this book is the current and previous editions.

Both Drs Heap and Aravind are members of the Hypnosis and Psychosomatic Medicine section of the RSM, and Dr Heap is a recent past President of the British Society of Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis.
