Dave Elman (May 6, 1900 - 5 December 1967) was a noted American radio host, comedian and songwriter, and important figure in the field of Hypnosis, especially, hypnotherapy. He is most known today as an author of a book on hypnosis, ''Hypnotherapy'' (1970) and the eponymous technique of hypnotic induction.〔〔 Over the course of his life he was also well known as the creator and host of a popular radio show known as ''Hobby Lobby'' 〔("Park River native’s hobbies brought success" ) Curtis Eriksmoen, The Forum, Sunday, February 12, 2006〕〔("Radio S-L-E-E-P" ) TIME, Monday, August 28, 1939〕〔(Those Were the Days, the Today in History ) 440 International.〕 as well as a songwriter and lyricist.〔〔 allmusic.com AMG Artist ID P 332404〕 ==Early life== Dave Elman was born David Kopelman to parents Jacob and Lena on May 6, 1900 in Park River, North Dakota, but the family moved in 1902 to Fargo, where they started a business on Front Street making wigs, switches and related performance equipment.〔 In 1906, they moved their wig-making business to the Kopelman Building, which they had built at 514 1st Street. In the basement, they provided mikvah services so Jewish women in the community could purify themselves through special cleansing. Lena also began a hairdressing shop next door.〔 Soon thereafter, Jacob was diagnosed with cancer. When a family friend relieved the intractable pain quite rapidly with hypnosis, Elman set about learning these techniques from him and began to realize the vast possibilities of hypnosis in the relief of pain outside of traditional medical procedures.〔 Jacob died in November 1908, leaving his pregnant wife with six children. In his early teens, Elman worked odd jobs to help the family. He was a talented musician on the saxophone and violin, and used his quick wit and love of entertaining performing within the community as a comic.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dave Elman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
