Product reviews for Scripts and Strategies in Hypnotherapy with Children
David Slater, The Hypnotherapist Magazine
If you don't have any more room on the book shelf after purchasing all the books that I and colleagues have reviewed for you in The Hypnotherapist then I suggest a trip to B&Q to purchase either some wood and brackets OR a totally new bookcase.
This book by Lynda Hudson is one of the most exciting books that I have reviewed in years and also, I feel, one of the most long awaited too.
I feel I had a link with the author and a devotion to the book as soon as I noticed that she was a former teacher as well as being a Clinical Hypnotherapist. I was a primary Head teacher in what feels like a former existence now, and have long been interested in the potential of using hypnotherapy with children.
I was privileged to review Linda Thomsonss books featuring Harry the Hypno-potamus. They were groundbreaking and immensely appealing to therapist and patient alike. However, the field lacked substance almost. It lacked a real hypnotherapy practitioners reference book which had depth, creativity, insight, suggestion and clarity. This book has it all and I feel confident that this will be seen as one of the most important and highly successful of books ever to come from the Crown House stable.
Whether or not you work with children this book will be compelling reading for you. It is an invaluable source for any therapist. She has great clarity of style and as well as being a mine of information, the books is also highly readable. In fact for a while this book was my main reading matter rather than a novel. It was that compelling. It had that drawing powe r and the crysta l clear working scripts were a delight to read in their own right as they showed that the author had deep knowledge of how the child functions and how a childs mind reacts to varied stimuli.
The book is unique and I will be amazed if any other book comes up to this standard let alone overtake it. This is a professional book written for professionals by a professional. It has everything that we look for, academic background, scientific substance, creative ingenuity and sound working methodology.
The realm of subjects covered is wide and I was pleased to see covered such issues as anxiety, sleeping disorders, habit disorders, enuresis and even bullying.
It should be a"must read, for all those training to be teachers as well as therapists as this lady has true insight and understands her subjects ( the children and their needs ) thoroughly.
Even SATS could become bearable after going through the Magic Bus script for Learning and Exams ( bit dont tell any teachers I just said that ).
Much of a teachers time is spent in helping children become what they were meant to become, helping them to feel good about themselves, helping them to feel positive, valued. This book covers all those and more.
This is a world chang ng book. Yes,I mean that. It helps us as therapists move ahead confidently and knowledgeably to help relieve the difficulties of those many youngsters who face problems today. They are our future. This book is a wonderful resource for anyone who is working with them.
I wholeheartedly commend it to you.
If there was a Booker Prize for Hypnotherapy texts this would be way up there on the top of my list!
