Ethics in Non-Theraputic Hypnosis

I would be highly interested to read what Milton himself said about his ethics - especially in the use of non-theraputic (ie, casual, naturalistic) trancing.  Can you point me in the right direction to some references?

I'm also curious about the ethics in telling a story to a client that isn't true.  As I understand it, Milton would often make up facts or events on-the-fly to fit the need of the client at the time.  But he would deliver the story as if it were true.  Where does one draw the line between theraputic story telling and telling the truth?

Thanks!
