Renowned psychologist and hypnotist Dr Pattabhiram passes away in Hyderabad, CM condoles

Hyderabad, July 1 (UNI) Renowned magician, psychiatrist and personality development expert Dr. B.V. Pattabhiram passed away at his residence here due to cardiac arrest today. He was 75.
He is survived by his wife, Jaya and son Prashanth
Pattabhiram, who recently turned 75, is one of the 15 children of ‘Rao Saheb’ Bhavaraju Satyanarayana from East Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh.
His body will be available for viewing at his residence in Khairatabad on July 2 from 9 am to 1 pm, with his funeral set to take place at Mahaprasthanam later that day at 3 pm.
Throughout his career, he not only explored writing and magic but also acted and contributed articles to various magazines, including children's publications like Balajyoti.
He did his M.A. in Psychology and also did two PhDs in a span of 20 years.
The PhD he did in 1990 was a theoretical paper on ‘Yoga-Hypnotism’, a comparative study, and he did his second PhD in 2015.
His contribution to the field of hypnosis was recognised by the University of Florida, which awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1983.
He practiced the magic knowledge he learned from a magician named Ember Rao during his higher education days in Kakinada and later during his employment in the Hyderabad Food Corporation.
By the 1970s, he had grown to the level of being able to perform magic for two to three hours entertaining the audience.
Pattabhiram has shown in many performances how deaf and dumb children - regardless of language - can be educated through magic.
Pattabhiram’s philosophy is to protect the dignity of magic education by exposing those who perform tricks like creating magic in the name of babas or fake gurus.
He established the Bharat Magic Circle for the first time in the country and brought new respect and distinction to the education of magic among the people.
Pattabhiram is credited with promoting the education of magic as a science on All India Radio and Doordarshan.
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy expressed deep grief over the death of renowned magician, writer, personality development expert and psychiatrist Dr B V Pattabhiram.
On ‘X’ platform, the CM recalled that Pattibhiram had made a lot of efforts in awakening people from superstitions through the education of magic.
He said that the loss of Pattabhiram, who had done many public service programmes through his magical knowledge, cannot be filled.
He prayed for the peace of Pattabhiram’s soul.
The Chief Minister expressed his deepest condolences to his family members.
Recalling the services rendered by Pattabhiram to the field of psychology, Telangana Psychologists Association State president Dr. M Ramachander said that Pattabhiram was a role model for the entire field in the two States.
“Pattabhiram did yeoman service to the field and authored several books related to psychology,” he added.
