"We live in a sick world," Dr Fernando Chaij writes. "Every day more and more illness afflicts mankind. But the alarming fact is that the greater number of the diseases oppressing humanity do not have an exclusively or fundamentally organic origin. Instead, they are functional. Having no known physical cause, they result from emotional problems or from the tensions of modern life."

Some men and women cease struggling with today's tensions. They use suicide as a final escape. But others seek relief in forces that some of us may be only dimly aware of. Dr Chaij explores the strange story of two of these forces: hypnotism and psychic phenomena.

Many have promoted hypnotism as a therapeutic aid for emotional illnesses and as a remarkable substitute for anesthetics in surgery and dentistry. But is it really a medical miracle tool? Does it actually work? And does it have dangers more threatening than the problem it seeks to cure or relieve?

Since the unusual experiences of the late Bishop James A Pike and his wife, both before and after his death in an Israeli desert, the world has increasingly become aware of psychic phenomena. Are they real or just hoaxes? What are the forces that lurk just beyond our sense? Are they friendly or hostile?

In this book Dr Chaij reveals the answers to these questions and lets the reader see the true nature of forces that many have considered as only folklore or superstition.
