Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Contemporary Hypnosis Research co-edited by Michael R. Nash, will likely be regarded in the same esteemed fashion as its forerunners in constituting a significant contribution to the hypnosis literature...I persist in regarding Contemporary Hypnosis Research as a "must-have" component of the library of every serious hypnosis clinician and researcher...Any researcher or clinician who deals with forensic hypnosis or clinical applications dealing with memory retrieval needs to be familiar with the excellent treatment of the relationship between hypnosis and memory presented by McConkey...an indispensable tool in assisting clinicians as well as investigators in mastering the growing body of available hypnosis research."--American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis
"This significant and scholarly survey by Fromm and Nash consists of reviews by some 28 well-known researchers who can speak authoritatively in their respective areas....this publication is an excellent and welcome contribution to the scientific study of hypnosis. Researchers and clinicians alike can profit greatly, not only by reading it but even more by giving it careful study. It should both improve the caliber of future experimental investigations and increase the utilization of hypnosis research by clinical practitioners." --Contemporary Psychology
"A most up-to-date survey of the the current status of hypnosis....Should be of great interest to all in the area of hypnosis research." --Choice
"An authoritative survey of contemporary hypnosis research, methodology, and theory, which will benefit not only students and beginning researchers, but veteran researchers, theoreticians, and clinicians as well." --SciTech Book News
"Student researchers as well as veterans of research and theory will find the book useful." --Hypnotherapy Today
"Fromm and Nash have edited an outstanding collection of research, theory and practice, giving hypnosis the scrutiny of scientific method which it has so desperately needed....it also deals with contemporary issues such as hypnosis and creativity, and behavioral medicine. It also looks at many of the assumptions we have accepted as facts in hypnosis, and challenges them. This is one of the best reference books I have ever seen." --The International Journal of Professional Hypnosis

Comprehensive,
By Bob (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contemporary Hypnosis Research (Hardcover)
The book is not a fun read, dealing with research in a very technical and statistical way. Just the same, it meets the intent, providing a balanced and thorough profile of what is going on. There is something here for any interested person."An Ego-Psychological Theory of Hypnosis" by Erika Fromm was probably my favorite. "Dissociation and Theories of Hypnosis" by Ernest R. Hilgard was also quite good, as was "Hypnosis, Psychopathology, and Psychological Regression" by Michael R. Nash. Best of all, the book has writings from such a variety of authors that all should find something of value.
