Résumé
We have stayed true to the Scriptures, "glued" as close as possible to sacred texts without adding or subtracting. The following Bible verses summarize in a few lines the objective sought at this critical analytical work of the practice of hypnosis in medicine and call to alert the public health: "And do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, but otherwise expose them! [...] Take care to drive you carefully, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil..." (Ephesians 5: 11-18, New King James Version)
