5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive book on hypnosis, March 10, 2001

By 

Roger Bergman (no) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hypnosis for Change (Paperback)

The author presents an easy to read, interesting and usefull book on hypnosis. I was able to use the historical section for my lectures at various universities. The applications of hypnosis were simple to understand, yet advanced enough to meet the needs of professionals. I was very happy with the way Ms. Hadley explained the cognative approaches to smoking cessation, weight reduction and stress management. I am happy to recommend this book to my students.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good..., March 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Hypnosis for Change (Paperback)

This was a pretty good book. Actually went a little more in depth about certain health problems and the like than some others that I have read, and it gives a lot of example inductions and other great stuff like that which is good for a beginner...

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and easily understood by professionals and casual readers alike, September 1, 2006

By

This review is from: Hypnosis for Change (Paperback)

I was assigned this book as a student in Hypnosis 101 and still refer to it in my
professional practice. It is well written for the professional yet easily understood
by the casual reader. It is very motivating and gives hope and direction for those wanting to make a change. No wonder it is cited in at least five other texts.
