Product Description
Product Description
This book is an extensively revised edition of a highly successful and comprehensive introductory manual for the use of clinical hypnosis in the treatment of medical and psychological problems and disorders. Written with the interests and needs of the doctor or dentist in mind, its practical and clear approach maintains the tradition of high-quality information, and usefulness established in previous editions of this book. After exploring the theoretical and historical background to hypnosis, and key techniques and approaches, the book looks at specific clinical situations and problems in which hypnosis may have an impact, and offers specific practical management guidelines, including possible scripts.

About the Author
The authors set up and have taught the clinical hypnosis courses at the University of Sheffield (Dept of Psychiatry) and University College London (Dept of Psychology) since 1990, teaching GPs and psychiatrists as well as dentistsand psychologists. Therefore, they are uniquely well placed to be able to carry on the "medical and dental" tradition of Hartland (although Dr Heap is a psychologist - but he is a fellow of the RSM), which is seen as crucial, while understanding the interest of the other readers who have certainly bought and used this book is the current and previous editions.
In addition, Dr Heap is the current Editor of the journal "Contemporary Hypnosis" and has written and edited a number of books on hypnosis:
Gibson & Heap, Hypnosis in Therapy, 1991, Laurence Erlbaum Associates
Heap, Hypnosis Current Clinical, Experimental and Forensic Practices, Croom Helm 1988
Hawkins & Heap, Hypnosis in Europe, Whurr 1998
BothDrs Heap and Aravind are members of the Hypnosis and Psychosomatic Medicine section of the RSM, and Dr Heap is a recent past President of the British Society of Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
One of the best overall standard textbooks on clinical hypnosis by one of the UK's leading academic authorities on hypnosis. I would recommend it as an essential reference book for students of hypnotherapy. Make sure, especially if buying second hand, that you get the current edition by Dr. Michael Heap, which is effectively a completely different book from the previous editions.

Missing some of the practical stuff but still an essential read for anyone doing hypnotherapy.

If you are doing a Hypnotherapy course you will need this book. Although it is quite a hefty read, it is very interesting and useful. You can pick relevant chapters out of it as and when needed.
