Summary: If you are really into hypnosis, don't want to read books or just love listening to tapes then this is an OK buy. Otherwise stick to reading the books currently available on the subject.

A review is supposed to focus on the tapes content. This is difficlut at best because the first tape in the six tape series was poor audio quality and the third tape was entirely blank! Even so, I found some interesting pointers and techniques that were beneficial, for example never use the words "Friendly Stranger" in your induction, etc. Tapes include history, induction techniques and other aspects of hypnosis. Other parts of the tapes were well done and many times humorous. However, if I didn't have so much windshield time, I would have been better off reading material on the subject instead of listening. My recommendation is this is a buy only if 1.) You can't get enough about Hypnosis, and 2.) You have excess time in the car and 3.) You love listening to self help tapes. Hope this helps, take good care.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Information, June 6, 2001

This review is from: Hypnotic Techniques (Audio Cassette)

If you are a student of Ericksonian or covert hypnosis, or just a beginner. There is valuable information here. The author speaks at great length about Pre-induction talks, Structures of an induction, and Induction assessment. He also covers any techniques and modifications to these. Representational systems, pacing and leading, and many case stories from calof and erickson (the author studied with Milton Erickson for 5 yrs and is and s in the Bandler, Grinder, Dilts circle of NLP) There are many golden nuggets on each tape I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THESE FOR DRIVING...YOU MAY END UP IN PARTS UNKNOWN!
