Hypnosis: A Comprehensive Guide, Producing Deep Trance Phenomena

This book makes three radically different and significant types of hypnosis easy to use in daily hypnosis work, examining in detail the techniques of Erickson, Estabrooks and Elman. Exploring methods that employ Direct Authoritarian and Indirect Permissive approaches, Hypnosis progresses beyond these approaches to describe the inductions pioneered by Dave Elman: a technique that places responsibility for hypnosis on the client.

An invaluable resource for all trainers and therapists, Hypnosis is a comprehensive and lucid manual that incorporates powerful inductions for producing deep-trance phenomena, sections on the application of metaphor and hypnotic language patterns, and scripts for a variety of hypnotic inductions.; Research shows that many people react differently to different kinds of hypnotic induction, yet many hypnotherapists are confined to using only one technique.
