Product Description
Product Description
Many of the hypotheses that Rossi proposed when this book was published in 1986 have now been confirmed. The mind-body connection is a process that can be seen, measured and accessed through hypnosis. In establishing that it is possible to use the mind to heal body illness, he now brings together new evidence from psychoneuroimmunology, neuroendocrinology, molecular genetics and neurobiology. More than a dozen new approaches to mind-body healing are outlined in a series of teaching tutorials.

Format:Hardcover
The book explains in great detail the influence and the effect of mind over body from the perspective of neuro-biology. In simple terms, most healing performed with hypnosis are a result of mind influencing the blood-flow, which then creates corresponding changes in the body.
Rossi provides a some amazing case-histories where hypnosis has helped people deal with problems which were unresponsive to regular medical treatment.
Together with a number of healing techniques, the focus is on Ericksonian principle of utilization. In this respect he also points out the significance of "utradian rhythm" - the fact that throughout the day we all drift in and out of trance naturally, and that one could do hypnosis even more-effectively by doing it in accord with ultradian rhythm, at a time when the person feels naturally more relaxed and drifting into a trance state.

Format:Paperback
This is such an important book and the author is clearly a leader in the field of psychobiology and hypnosis. It is very important both for the scientific and medical community as well as the general public to appreciate the biological basis of hypnotherapy because understanding these mechanisms better will lead to greater acceptance of hypnosis as a viable treatment for a wide range of medical/psychological conditions.
The book is very thorough and presents convincing evidence of the mind/body link and dispels the myth that mind and body are two separate entities functioning independently. The link or bridge is thought to lie in the limbic system/hypothalamus which the authors have described as acting as transducers; converting emotional experience, thoughts and memories into biological reactions via a complex cascade of molecular level events, moving through the major systems of the body such as the nervous and immune systems. It then becomes clear how thoughts, emotions and feelings have a profound effect on our health and resistence to disease and how hypnotherapy can then be used as a powerful intervention.
I recommend this book to anyone working in the field and to any interested lay people.

30 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
In a word, excellent. A wonderful explanation of mind-body dynamics and the placebo effect. Some excellent hypnotic and mind-body healing techniques. Dr. Rossi is a true expert in his field. He fully justifies that reputation with this book.
