When is hypnosis brought into play with various theoretical and clinical approaches to psychotherapy? What does a hypnotherapist actually do on a case-by-case and a session-by-session basis? What specific strategies can be implemented? What are the scope and nature of the challenges that hypnotherapists and their clients face? What interpersonal issues emerge in hypnotherapeutic treatment? The editors of the Casebook of Clinical Hypnosis have marshaled an impressive group of eminent hypnotherapists to consider these issues and to illustrate them with interesting and memorable cases from their own experience. Each chapter is devoted to the explication of clinical techniques and strategies, and many chapters contain transcripts of actual sessions and suggestions administered, thus providing readers with a window onto the world of clinicians' best hypnotherapeutic work with their clients. Contributing therapists offer the presenting background and assessment information of a client, the treatment rationale, the role of hypnosis within the treatment, outcome and follow-up data, and concluding commentary. Such client problems as eating disorders, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, enuresis, dissociative identity disorder, dysmennorhea, nicotine dependence, attentional deficit disorder, and the aftereffects of sexual abuse and rape are addressed. One of the unique features of the Casebook is a "clinical case conference" that illustrates how experts from very different traditions of clinical hypnotherapy conceptualize and treat a person with problems in living. The section presents a challenging case followed by commentaries of well-known clinicians who represent psychoanalytic psychotherapy, rational-emotive behavior therapy, multimodal therapy, and Ericksonian hypnosis.

Good Coverage of What Can Be Done With Hypnosis Clinically,
By Little Yang "Little Yang" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casebook of Clinical Hypnosis (Hardcover)
This book is a current classic in the area of scholarly hypnosis. It goes over quite a few different types of cases and demonstrates how hypnosis can be effectively applied to things as varied as eating disorders to smoking cessation, etc. It can get a bit monotonous, but it's a scholarly book, so what can your really expect.
My only gripe isn't really this book, but the fact that I don't think it has much legitimate competition out there. Few books on hypnosis really go into good sound research on application in clinical settings. So, by default, the book is a classic. I'd like to see more books out there give it a run for its money.

Simple Beginner's Book,
By Old Salt (Jacksonville, FL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casebook of Clinical Hypnosis (Hardcover)
This is a book with very simple conceptualizations of the human experience. It is an excellent book for enthusiastic young students, although it leaves much to be desired for the experienced practitioner.

Excellent book,
By Bob (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casebook of Clinical Hypnosis (Hardcover)
This is a well rounded selection. It includes a variety of approaches, not leaning in a particular direction. It is best enjoyed with, or following, the authors' sequel book, Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis
