Extract

A brief summary of this patient's condition was given in our article on “Hypnosis in Mental Hospital Practice “(1), where it was cited as Case 2, illustrating “the great value of hypnosis as a quick method of bridging amnesic gaps”. The hope was there expressed that the case would be published separately in full, as it contains numerous features of general interest. Similar cases appear from time to time in the newspapers, and it seemed to us that a detailed account, showing exactly how the amnesias arose and how the case was dealt with, might be welcomed.
