“My story begins in a hotel bar in a run-down seaside resort somewhere in Wales, where people felt strangely compelled to act in absurd ways to fulfil the roles they had been assigned. And this is exactly how it ends four years later, in a provincial County Court, complete with men wearing black cloaks and grey wigs.
Heap M (2000). A legal case of a man complaining of an extraordinary sexual disorder following stage hypnosis. Contemporary Hypnosis, 17, 143-149.” Michael Heap |

| Not the author's only autobiography. This one is a short account, mainly of his early life and upbringing, and his faltering beginnings as a writer. There is much introspection and reflection on his troubled mental life during this period, which he i ...more | |

| This book is a wide-ranging review of what is known about sleep — its physical and psychological nature, why it is so important for a healthy mind and body, and what can go wrong and what to do about it. It’s very technical but written in a reader-fr ...more | |

“It seems to be the fate of all therapeutic models and the techniques derived from them that they are extended into areas beyond those in which they have a valid application. Indeed the range of valid application can be very narrow or even non-existent.”

“I insist that if you put together mainstream public and private medicine, alternative or complementary medicine, commercially available, across-the-counter remedies, and so on, then you have a healing industry the collective scale of which vastly outstrips whatever it is really capable of achieving. In short, there seems to me to be far too much of it about.

“If you survey healing throughout history and across contemporary cultures, and even within our own culture, you will encounter an extraordinary and fascinating range of human behaviour and beliefs, bounded only by the healer's own imagination and the compliance of those seeking to be healed, and therefore unbounded. I think this is more so than in any context other than religion.
