Format:Paperback
As a chartered psychologist, I approached this title with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism. I was not only surprised but delighted by the clarity, incisiveness and balanced caution with which Micheal Yapko introduction clinical hypnosis. He underpins his account of this class of intervention with reference to relevant cognitive and social research in a manner that neither trivialises nor makes claims beyond the evidence. If only other introductions to delicate areas of intervention were half as sound!

This book is not a "how to" manual, but rather a concise overview of many different aspects of hypnosis. It indeed deals with the "essentials" that any practicing hypnotist should know. Even though these are "essentials", they are not covered in any traditional hypnosis training, so anyone attending hypnosis training may benefit from this information.
The information in this book has a wide scope, but it is offered in a concise form - a like a review of essential points.
Some of the areas covered are misconceptions of hypnosis, contexts of hypnosis, human suggestibility, conscious and unconscious processing, susceptibility to hypnosis, physiological and psychological characteristics of hypnotic state, physical and environmental variables for doing hypnosis, structuring suggestions, patterns of hypnotic communication, suggestibility tests, formal hypnotic inductions, naturalistic hypnotic inductions, hypnotic phenomena, self-hypnosis, therapeutic utilization of hypnosis, sample trance scripts, ethical guidelines and much more.

I found this book incredibly technical and fairly difficult to read. The majority of the sentences were exceedingly convoluted and full of words that the average layman might not have encountered in the hypnosis field. I felt that if I'd been a University Graduate in Psychology or Philosophy,I might have found it easier. The information in it is without doubt very informative and looks at the topic of hypnosis in a more technical way than most basic hypnosis books. I feel that this book has to be endured several times to gain all the knowledge that it contains.
