The second edition of Clinical Hypnotherapy by Dr. Chips is an excellent revised second edition. Writing errors are to a minimum, and the content is pertinant to clinical and transpersonal hypnotherapy. This book is well worth the cover price for those who desire to learn about hypnotherapy for themselves as a client, or for the purpose of entering into the profession.

I was not impressed with the book at all. There were quite a few typographical errors, the pictures were amaturerish to say the least. The Justification was all staggared throughout the book, and I would not suggest this book for anybody who wants to look at the world of hypnotherapy in a nonbiased light.

I find this book is a must if you are studying the art of Hypnotism. Doing hypnotism without transpersonally honoring a client's mind, body and spirit is like trying to row a boat without a paddle. Allen Chips writes an informative academic text that gives students of hypnotism the tools they need to forge ahead professionally. You will gain outstanding knowledge and excellent examples for the practice and application of hypnosis.

As mentioned in another review, this book contains many, many grammatical and spelling errors which distract from the credibility of the material presented. This self-published book is not professionally written or edited. While some of the material is useful ~ particularly the final chapter ~ it certainly wasn't worth the expensive cover price. I can't recommend this book.

The content of the book is ok, but there is a error in grammar or puntuation on almost every page. In the front of the book the author credits someone with editing the book for him, he ought to retract that. It reads like it is written on the level of someone in junior high. I expected a much more fact-based analysis. Instead the author casually refers to famous hypnotists from the past, but offers no footnotes.

I am reading this for my Hypno Class that I am attending and really like it and cant wait to delv in to all of this more!

This book is a good read for the layperson who is beginning to explore the metaphysical. You must also read "My Voice Will Go With You" edited by Sidney Rosen, "Hypnosis: A Jungian Perspective" by James Hall, and study Milton Erickson's work - if you are a practicing therapist who may want to begin to use hypnotic techniques in your work with depth psychology.

This is the first book on hypnotherapy that I have ever read. It was very easy to read and flowed wonderfully. All of my questions were answered in matter of fact writing that explained terms, concepts, and theories in such a way that anybody could understand them. I was also impressed how Dr. Chips took into consideration people who had difficult times reading the small print found in most books. The text was a bit larger for people to find a particular passage at a glance. All in all, I would say that this book is a must read for anybody who has questions on Hypnotherapy!

This book takes clinical hypnotherapy a step further by incorporating the mind, body, and spirit in a very client centered way. It's a holistic approach to transformative therapy.
