The Art of Hypnotherapy

Product Description Now in it's 4th edition, this classic text presents a comprehensive overview of client-centered hypnosis based on the teachings of Charles Tebbets. Since it is the person under going hypnosis is the one with power to change him/herself, the hypnotherapist acts as the facilitator, tailoring the hypnosis session to the client. All of the techniques found in this volume, including regression therapy and parts theory center on this concept. The Art of Hypnotherapy shows students how all hypnotic techniques revolve around four main therapeutic objectives: Suggestion and Imagery; Discover the Cause; Release; and Subconscious Relearning. New features in this edition include an arrangement of techniques from simple to complex, so those using hypnosis in a limited way easily learn the applicable techniques, a chapter on the common application of hypnotherapy that now includes new sections on: anger, impotence, stuttering, and tinnitus, and the chapters on anchoring and triggers have been updated with sections on how to help a client establish a safe place, and why this is important. Review Roy Hunter's text is a masterful presentation of the fundamentals as well as advanced techniques of clinical hypnotherapy. I highly recommend it for the beginner as well as the experienced hypnotherapist. --Pamela Winkler, PhD, President of St. John's University The chapter on regression techniques is so complete that it is a mini training course in the art of safe and competent hypnotic regression.

Chock full of the sort of wisdom that can only come from a well-spring of clinical experience, this is an eminently must-read book. --Terence Watts, Founder, Assocation of Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy, UK The chapter on regression techniques is so complete that it is a mini training course in the art of safe and competent hypnotic regression.
