5.0 out of 5 stars Clinical Hypnotherapy, November 27, 2005

This review is from: Clinical Hypnotherapy: A Transpersonal Approach, Second Edition (Paperback)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Clinical Hypnotherapy: A Transpersonal Approach, November 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Clinical Hypnotherapy: A Transpersonal Approach (Hardcover)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant book for a mind, body, spirit approach to hypnotherapy, July 8, 2008

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.
