Integrating cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) with hypnosis may increase benefits to clients suffering from a broad range of mental and physical health problems.

This practitioner's guide, written by some of the most influential clinical psychologists, educators, and hypnotists, brings together these two methods of treatment and provides a theoretical framework for this integration. By thoroughly reviewing the evidence-based research for the addition of hypnosis to cognitive behavioral treatments and illustrating a variety of clinical applications, the contributors show how the integration can mean productive treatment of clients who might otherwise not have progressed as quickly or successfully. A useful final chapter addresses the process of becoming a practitioner of both CBT and hypnosis.

Review

"You can learn much from this book that is both practical and deeply thought provoking..." -- Richard Horevitz, PhD, ABPP, ABPH, Fellow, American Academy of Clinical Psychology, Fellow, American Psychological Association

From the Publisher

"It is my pleasure to endorse Robin's book. I am heartened to see a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist introduce his colleagues who practice this paradigm, to the utilization of hypnosis." "Medical and Mental Health practitioners have, for decades, observed phenomena in clinical practice that were eventually validated by "scientific" research." "It appears that Dr. Chapman has stepped boldly into the arena of "frontiersman," taking point and cutting a path towards the incorporation of hypnosis in a most efficacious treatment modality and perspective. Many will benefit from his insight and courage." - Philip L. Accaria, PhD, FASCH, Immediate Past President: ASCH 2005-2006

"Robin Chapman has brought together an interesting group of clinicians, all of whom employ Cognitive Behavior Therapy in their work. Many of the authors have worked together in the past, thus making for a fruitful exchange. The book is an excellent introduction for both CBT therapists and therapists employing hypnosis. The repetition of themes, tools, caveats, case material and reference to the research literature makes this book especially exciting for clinical hypnotherapists. You can learn much from this book that is both practical and deeply thought provoking. Congratulations on a job well done. Those who pick up the book and begin with Dr. Chapman’s introduction will be pulled in for an elegant, enlightening journey."

- Richard Horevitz, PhD, ABPP, ABPH

"Dr. Chapman provides a compelling rationale for the integration of clinical hypnosis and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy. He has compiled a group of eminent clinicians and their chapters are clearly written, with rich case examples, practical hypnotic suggestions and extensive references. Professionals from both the hypnosis and cognitive-behavioral fields will return to this book again and again as an invaluable reference text. I enthusiastically recommend it."

- Mark B. Weisberg, PhD, ABPP, Fairview University Medical Center, Minneapolis. Fellow, Approved Consultant, and Executive Board Member, American Society of Clinical Hypnosis
