5.0 out of 5 stars
Readable breadth and technical depth on hypnotic process, May 14, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hypnotic Brain: Hypnotherapy and Social Communication (Hardcover)
This is a rare find in a book about hypnosis: thre is approachable information about nearly EVERY level or type of hypnotic function for both the lay reader AND the expert seeking details and models or theories of hypnotic process. Peter Brown matter-of-factly explodes the notion that hypnosis is some bizarre state and simultaneously give us interesting tidbits and detail about how nearly all brain function is related to what we loosely call "hypnosis."
Especially because of the flurries of news about false memory syndrome and hypnosis in the not-so-distant-past, this book is both a delightful tour through the human brain, and a useful reference. A MUST read for the generally curious about hypnosis, the hypnotherapeutic practitioner, and anyone in the helping or healing professions

Broad and deep survey, September 6, 2007
This review is from: The Hypnotic Brain: Hypnotherapy and Social Communication (Hardcover)
This is one of the best overviews of hypnosis (and related aspects of mental function), suitable for general as well as specialist audience. Where are you, Peter Brown? We need more of your ideas.
