Product Description
Synopsis
The best complete and fundamental textbook on clinical hypnosis available. Written by master therapists and educators Steven Jay Lynn and Irving Kirsch, it bridges the research-practice gap, bringing hypnosis into mainstream evidence-based clinical psychotherapy. Through session transcripts, illustrative case examples, and step-by-step procedures, this volume explores the benefits of incorporating hypnotic methods into treatment plans for such common disorders and conditions as anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, pain and medical conditions, smoking, and eating disorders. It is appealing to a broad range of practitioners and students, including psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, social workers, and dentists. The book weaves together history, scientific evidence, and vivid applications material. Helps novices get started with basic inductions and suggestive methods, describing when and when not to use hypnotic procedures. More advanced techniques are also covered, along with various theoretical perspectives on hypnosis, up-to-date literature reviews, and unflinching discussions of thorny issues including the use of hypnosis for memory recovery.

This book by Lynn and Kirsch is probably the best introduction to cognitive-behavioural approaches to hypnotherapy available. It draws on the authors' extensive experience of evidence-based practice and research on hypnosis to provide a detailed overview of treatment protocols for a range of common problems, derived from established CBT procedures and research on hypnosis. It's not cheap but it's well worth the price and I'd suggest making this one of the first books on hypnosis you purchase and read.

A major disappointment
2 Dec 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was excited to get this book, firstly because the price was so much better from .com v .co.uk, and more importantly because when I opened the book it looked so promising. But as I read on it became more and more a let down. It felt like one summary/paraphrase after another. Like a series of students notes. None of the topics is covered very well. The chapter on smoker cessation is a poorly described group approach - which could be useful but isn't really very useful and is not the most common approach. If I wanted to learn about this approach it wouldn't help very much. Most of the other chapters are the same they look attractive but don't deliver.
A book I read recently and am still reading Cognitive Hypnotherapy by Assen Alladin is much better.
I have now given up on it even though it is on the reading list of the course I am about to do. I am just glad I didn't buy it in the UK as for the price here I would have been very upset. Hopefully when I get past my current reaction and revisit it I would find some hidden or obvious treasures.
