Dave Elman – Hypno-Analysis

Introducing Hypno-Analysis

Dave Elman is known primarily for his design of the Dave Elman Induction (DEI). The DEI is only one component of the Dave Elman Course in Medical Hypnosis, which he taught to thousands of doctors around the country from 1949- to the earl 1960’s.

Dave’s Hypno-Analysis MP3 set contains his original HYPNO-ANALYSIS (6 record set) which are recorded cases of Dave doing regression and Hypno-analysis on patients. These patients were brought in by the participating physicians and dentists, after exhausting their search for physical causes of the presenting symptoms. There is also a book included which was in the record album set, plus additional commentary by his son, H Larry Elman.

About Dave Elman

Dave Elman was born David Kopelman in Park River, North Dakota on May 6th, 1900. Growing up in Fargo, North Dakota, Dave became interested in hypnosis at a young age after witnessing its powerful effects on his ailing father. Stricken ill with cancer, Dave’s father Jake was able to play with his children again after a hypnosis pain reduction session by a hypnotist. That experience left Dave with a lifelong fascination with the art of hypnosis and it’s use for medical and health issues. He spent his teens learning as much about hypnotism as he possibly could, and he quickly became able to induce trances in his friends and neighbors.

In 1922, Dave began to perform in the Vaudeville circuit as a comedian, musician and Stage Hypnotist, and was known as “The World’s Youngest and Fastest Hypnotist”. Dave specialized in rapid hypnosis, and the speed of his inductions astounded audiences around the country, as he was often able to achieve a full trance in less than a minute. About this time he began to use Dave as his stage name in order to fit his name on marquees and advertising when he performed. His name was legally changed many years later.

Over the next two decades, Dave became involved in the rapidly booming radio industry, first as a writer, producer, director and performer for CBS and later as creator and host of the enormously popular Hobby Lobby radio show which was on the air for well over a decade. He also created and hosted the radio program “War Bond Auction” (later renamed “Victory Auction”) as part of the War Effort during the Second World War.

In 1949, he demonstrated his rapid induction methods and knowledge of pain control to a group of physicians who approached him after his hypnosis stage show. As a result, he was asked to provide a course on hypnosis to physicians and dentists. He insisted that he not practice medicine but only teach the techniques of hypnosis. His students often researched further medical applications and these collaborations were added to the course.

The Dave Elman Course in Medical Hypnosis was taught to thousands of physicians and dentists.  In 1964, he wrote the widely respected book “Findings in Hypnosis”, which was later republished as HYPNOTHERAPY. Both the book and the series of audio recordings made in the classrooms of his courses are now highly regarded as classics in the field of Medical Hypnosis
