Product reviews for Foundations of Clinical Hypnosis
David Slater, The Hypnotherapist Magazine
Edwin Yager is an academic as well as maintaining a private practice in San Diego, California, so this book is an academic tome yet is flavoured fully with concrete experience at the chalk face.
The book is a remarkably slim tome for a work that is so comprehensive in its breadth and scope of content. It is an ideal reference book which gives you, the practitioner, a breadth and depth of knowledge in different areas to equip you with the confidence and ability to translate what you read in to what you do as a matter of practice.
The book is written clearly and succinctly. There is jargon, unlike the book reviewed above, but there is an excellent glossary of all terms used so that one can fully understand what one is reading.
I like its brevity. Nothing is lost through it not being a thick book. In fact much is gained as it makes it immediately readable.
I would have found this book immensely useful when I was doing my initial training. I find it immensely useful now that I am approaching my 20th year in the profession. This work is ideal for both those setting out on the hypnotherapy road and for those who may feel they have arrived. There is always something new to learn. Always new ideas and strategies to consider. As William C Wester ( USA) says” It is a blend of theory and practice covering most clinical problems and providing a complete bibliography for further investigation. This volume will become a valuable resource in a hypnosis library as well as a basic text in the field,. I couldn' have put it better myself.
Dr Yagers extensive clinical experience has made him an ideal author for such a book. Here we are in safe hands and we know that we can come away from reading the book with new ideas, new enthusiasm and wider understanding. I feel it has the potential to help us be more creative in our approach to our work and at the same time, more effective.
As is so often the case the excellent format of the book and the care that Crown House has put into its design and production helps to make this book even more impressive, attractive and useable. Another triumph for them, I feel.
