William Saul Kroger (April 14, 1906 – December 4, 1995) was an American medical doctor who pioneered the use of hypnosis in medicine and was co-founder and founder of medical societies and academies dedicated to furthering psychosomatic medicine and medical hypnosis. Though he was trained as a gynecologist/obstetrician, his contributions to the medical field cut across disciplines and specialties in the medical field, including psychiatry, psychosomatic illness and treatment, endocrinology, neurobiology and bioengineering as well as his own specialty of gynecology and obstetrics. He is the author of the medical textbook ''Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis'', considered to be a classic instructional aid in the use of hypnosis in medical settings, as well as co-authoring ''Psychosomatic Gynecology, Including Problems of Obstetrical Care'' and ''Hypnosis and Behavior Modification: Imagery Conditioning'', among others. ==Early life== Kroger was born in Evanston, Illinois. Kroger's interest in hypnosis began at an early age when his father, Charles Mendel Kroger, hired a local hypnotist to generate publicity for his fur store. The hypnotist deeply hypnotized his assistant, then buried and awoke her. This inspired him to attempt to hypnotize other children in his neighborhood at age 13.〔 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「William S. Kroger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
