Book Description

December 1, 1997
Intuition, gut feelings, hunches...Call it what you like, we all possess unconscious wisdom.  And as the stories in this book make clear, that wisdom has the power to heal.
A married couple trade identities in trance--and end the battles that have pushed them to the brink of divorce.
A patient in deep trance endures a five-hour surgery without anesthesia, even stopping her bleeding on cue.
A woman who is going blind regains her sight when she confronts the knowledge she has been trying not to "see."

These are just a few of the fascinating true stories told by family therapist David L.  Calof, one of the leaders of modern hypnotherapy.  In a practice spanning more than twenty years, Calof has helped clients use the power of their own unconscious minds to gain insights, solve problems, and heal physical and psychological wounds--sometimes in dramatic ways even he could not foresee.  His revealing book offers remarkable insights into the inner wisdom we all possess.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This casebook by a "master hynotherapist" lives up to its billing with well-told stories of healing using an approach that is clearly effective yet mysterious in its workings. Hypnotherapy is deservedly gaining respect, and readers will be entertained and informed by this engaging presentation. Ten cases-from eating disorders and marital therapy (the title story) to a harrowing tale of major surgery without conventional anesthesia-show the possibilities of hypnosis in the hands of a specialist working with select clients. Calof treats individuals, couples, and families with a combination of detective work, theatrical direction, and common sense. Throughout, he reveals his own feelings, uncertainties, and mistakes. The careful choice of words is as important in hypnosis as it is in writing, and Calof's skill shows in both endeavors. This book should join the list of classic psychotherapeutic casebooks, earning Calof a place alongside Freud and Calof's own mentor, Milton Erickson, among others. Recommended for public and academic libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Partnership is the essence of Calof's therapeutic approach., June 27, 1998
This review is from: The Couple Who Became Each Other: Stories of Healing and Transformation from a Leading Hypnotherapist (Paperback)
The most striking single aspect of the therapeutic techniques David Calof demonstrates in these gripping case histories is the peer partnerships he creates between clinician and clients. It is this "at ease" stance which enables him to access the client's unconscious with such facility and enlist his inner resources in the healing process. May his tribe increase.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a fascinating look into the unconscious, April 28, 1997
By A Customer
This is not only an excellent read--like a series of whodunits-but a fascinating glipse of the working of the unconscious mind. This is not just about hypnosis, but it is about universal processes in every person. The writing is excellent and the stories compelling. Good read for anyone interested in the mysteries of the mind
