Pioneer of Curative Hypnotherapy
David Lesser (1928 - 2001)
David is the author of the only two books on the Curative uses of hypnotherapy.
He was the elected President of the Association of Qualified Curative Hypnotherapists from it's inception in 1985 until his death in 2001.
He founded the Therapy Training College in 1978.
The trademark - Lesserian™ Curative Hypnotherapy - was suggested in recognition and honour of David's ground-breaking work in the field of hypnotherapy.
David Lesser had an extremely varied career before qualifying as a masseur in 1966. In refining his techniques of relaxation massage and learning how to teach them to others, he became interested by the interaction of mind and body, the way such deep mental effects could be achieved by the purely physical treatment of body massage.
He decided to investigate the opposite effect - that of mind over body - which led him into hypnosis.
Further study and research led him to using hypnotherapy, but he was intrigued as to why some people would react one way to treatment, and others in a different way; some improving vastly, others only slightly and some not at all. He wanted to understand why this was so.
This need to understand 'the why' began his pioneering work into what eventually evolved into Curative Hypnotherapy.
