Product reviews for Advances in the Use of Hypnosis for Medicine, Dentistry and Pain Prevention/Management

A comprehensive volume, Advances in Hypnosis for Medicine Dentistry and Pain Prevention/Management is an up-to-date compendium of hypnosis research and clinical experience that will serve as a clarion call to the health care professional uninitiated in the art and science of hypnosis. Each chapter highlights the too-often overlooked opportunities for medical and dental hypnosis to improve patients' wellbeing and expedite their healing. Most important, this book is framed in the theories of mind/body medicine. It argues that hypnosis is best suited for the paradigmatic shift occurring in our scientific understanding of the "new' quantum physics of biology. " the authors posit that hypnosis is the avenue to improving our health. It stands at the ready to address how to do so, once scientific thinking reaches the tipping point (and it is close) of appreciating the importance of hypnosis in tapping into the complexity of the mind/body relationship. Each chapter succinctly illustrates the "how to's" of hypnosis and the benefits to increasing the utilization of hypnosis in modern medicine. This text will also be a resource to the clinician already using hypnosis. It can serve as an outline for teaching, and a guide to new applications of hypnosis within medicine and dentistry.
