Product Description
Review
Understanding Advanced Hypnotic Language Patterns is a concise and accessible guide to a specialist subject and provides new perspectives in relation to the application of advanced NLP. The author successfully bridges the gap between communication theory and practice and demonstrates how language scripts can be applied to complex counselling situations. Written in clear non-technical language this highly readable text will be recommended reading for advanced level NLP students and in fact anyone who seeks to understand the many factors involved hypnotic language patterns. This welcome book simplifies and explains the key steps involved in using hypnotic scripts and provides a useful guide and resource for those who already have a broad understanding of NLP but want to further explore it's possibilities as a change agent. The potential readership of the book is broad but it will be particularly useful for practitioners in the field of healthcare and psychotherapy. The author considers both the strengths and the shortcomings of the NLP model and identifies potential barriers to applying the techniques.

Dr. Burton's conceptualization that our perceptions bind our awareness to the resources or problems we find real in our daily life, is a brilliantly written and much-needed contribution to the field. His contribution regarding how we chunk and categorize experience is pragmatically useful to all therapists. I think every psychotherapist should read this book and learn how they can advance the field of therapy by applying its concepts.

This is a fascinating book - and more helpful and interesting than the title would suggest. While not all the ideas are entirely new, it is the first time I have seen them put together in one volume in such an interesting and readable way. I am convinced that this book will be of real benefit to all hypnotherapists - from the newly qualified to the practitioner with several years experience.

Understanding Advanced Hypnotic Language Patterns - a comprehensive guide.
John Burton EdD ISBN: 978-1845900324 Crown House Publishing Ltd
Pages: 226
How good is it, that as you read this now I'm sure you'll be wondering what differences and similarities this book contains, and it has plenty of them? The author takes a top down look, very aptly, using the Gestalt model of perception, showing how these universal laws of perception track across form visual perception to linguistic perception. The minds constant search for meaning, or more accurately the minds constant inclination to create meaning, is the mechanism explained here by which the use of hypnotic language patterns you will enjoy when you read this book. That always helps more doesn't it?
The final section looks at the Milton model, this is the identification of all the linguistic nuts and bolts tools for creating high quality communication with the sub-(un - ?) conscious mind. Around a dozen simple techniques are used to create almost the entire language structure of hypnotic communication helps you to enjoy understanding the way to change things for the better. For example on technique often used in jokes is to have a word or phrase that has two meanings, this is called the `phonetic ambiguity'. Incidentally, reading this book will give you a new appreciation of verbal comedy won't you? I've begun to notice it makes up the majority of the Two Ronnies comedy for instance (four candles / fork handles). Only one interpretation can be perceived by the consciousness at any one time, the other meaning goes straight into your (you are) unconscious.
The central and largest portion of the book comprises many sample scripts along with their respective deconstructions through both the top-down and bottom-up models of hypnotic language. These `scripts' are very useful for learning the improvisational art of using hypnotic language, but only from time to time are they appropriate for use as simple read-off consulting room scripts - but that's not what this book is about. This book is happiest outside the consulting room because the tran-scripts really go some way to show how the use of hypnotic language truly is an art form, best practised spontaneously and client specific. The transcript section is divided into only a few chapters such as `emotions, perceptions, time, behaviours, smoking' but they would have benefited from having each individual script denoted on the contents page.
I know this book played a large part in my transition from response less script-reading therapist to the hypnotic language factory I am today. Some of the transcripts are so dense in their use of the language patterns that you will find it more difficult to read that section straight though finding that you are trancing out no matter whether you decide to read the script first of the linguistic rules.

good book for any Ericksonian language fans, the best part are the many dialogues written about different conditions which any budding hypnotherapist can use as a learning tool for their trance scripts.

I love how this work describes "levels" of flexibility in peoples thinking.
By just speaking to people one can help other become more flexible in how they look at problems and the more choices you have the freedom available to you.
Good book.
