Art of Hypnotherapy 4ed

Now in it's fourth edition, this classic text presents a comprehensive overview of client-centred hypnosis based on the teachings of Charles Tebbetts. Since the person undergoing hypnosis is the one with the power to change him/herself, the hypnotherapist acts as the facilitator, tailoring the hypnosis session to the client. All of the techniques found in The Art of Hypnotherapy, including regression therapy and parts theory, centre 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 that those using hypnosis in a limited way easily learn the applicable technique; a chapter on the common application of hypnotherapy 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 isimportant.Praise for the Third Edition:“ Roy Hunter's text is a masterful presentation of the fundamentals as well as advanced techniques of clinical hypnotherapy.

And as if that was not enough, the chapter contains a step-by-step guide to take the reader from start to finish of a professional therapy. 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
