As a registered Hypnotherapist, I have read many books on hypnosis and this is one of the best. It covers the detailed workings of the induction techniques, deepening processes and similar items. It does an excellent job of explaining how to tell when the person is responding and how deep they are going. The emphasis is on medical hypnosis but it can easily be applied to any situations. If I had to get rid of the hypnosis books in my library and could only keep one then this is the one that I would keep.

An excellent and informative read, as a qualified and experienced hypnotherapist I found the content educational and interesting. I thought I knew all there was to know about my career. Obviously not. I will definetly be refering to this book throughout my career.

This book contains the distilled wisdom and experience of a master practitioner. He clearly explains his approach and his theory of hypnosis. He offers many well written and powerful scripts. There is a great deal to learn from this book for anyone who sees clients and wants to bring about positive changes in their lives.

This book has to be approached, that is, read, from the standpoint of a hypnotherapist learning to improve his skill set. It is, in a way, a difficult book to read because reading scripts tends to put you into trance. You must consistently read it with an eye toward picking out the phrasing used and the intent of the wording in the scripts. If this is done, the text is quite instructive and complete. The casual reader
looking for party tricks won't find them here. This is a book
for those with serious interest willing to let its wisdom
permeate their subconscious slowly, slowly, deeper and deeper.

I am a Holistic Health Practitioner that wanted to incorporate hypnotherapy into my practice and purchased this book for an overview of the process. I was amazed at the thoroughness of the information. By just studying this book, I was able to hypnotize my husband with ease and he insisted he could not be hypnotized. He was astounded at how easily he succumbed to the process.

I must practice more before I actually put it into my therapy regime, but I feel this book affords adequate information to allow the limited use of hypnosis in my practice. I plan to delve deeper into the mysteries of hypnosis to enable me to have more expertise to offer my clients in the future.

The reason for only 4 stars is I felt it was rather redundant in many cases and he jumped around quite a bit in his explanations and would refer in one chapter to the use of a procedure that is not explained until several chapters later. It was not cohesive in content. However, that said, it did provide valuable information.

I am relatively new to hypnosis. I have read a few books and have managed to advance my understanding of the practice with each. In my opinion, this book took me from beginner to intermediate. Some of the claims seem outrageous, but, I think that is part of his point anyway. I feel like I have taken a giant step forward after reading this one.

As a hypnotherapist, it was nice to read more of the medical approch to hypnosis. Lots of information about why and how we get sick. It made me feel a little more knowlegable so that not only can I help, but I could also explain why and how we get sick in laymans terms, very advantagious in the pretalk. In reading the book, some outdated technics were used,(probably filler for the book). I'm not saying that they don't work, but these techniecs are no longer used.

Overall the book has lots of good scripts, hypnotic inductions, deepening technics & tests. Another book to add to my collection!

With the word "medicine" in the title, I was looking for emphasis on medical hypnosis. Recommend for beginner and intermediate practitioner.

This book is a complete waste of money, unless you are a compelte novice to Hypnosis in which case you may find that it as a fair introductory work to Hypnosis, showing examples of what Hypnosis Scripts are like.
