When I initially saw the title of this book, I was prepared for an exploration of hypnosis. What I wasn't prepared for was such a fabulously comprehensive and compelling read. I am sure this will become one of the major texts in the field of hypnosis.
This is a long awaited and excellent account of the multiplicity of hypnosis that will be a valuable resource for both new and experienced therapists. It doesn't get hung up on specific one-sided approaches to using hypnosis, but gives the reader ample information to be able to make an informed choice, that will ultimately benefit the readers therapeutic work. As well as telling us about what we need to know, the book also tells us about the lesser known aspects of hypnosis. For over a decade I have been searching for a book like this. Marvellous, exciting for the profession and a credit to the author.
