4.0 out of 5 stars Great scripting examples, average explanstion of hypnosis, December 15, 2001

This review is from: Master Secrets of Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis (Hardcover)

As a Registered Hypno-Therapist, I would have to say that Master Secrets of Hypnosis and Self-Hypnosis is a relatively thorough, although dated, book. It does a good job of explaining the process of hypnosis and self-hypnosis but I would not say that it contains any particular "secrets". The book follows standard procedures and provides a great number of illustrative inductions and similar scripted information. It also goes out on a limb in some areas such as hypnotizing someone over the phone and similar. Standard hypnotists would have some problems with this and similar parts of the book, so take part of it with a grain of salt.
It is a good book but if you want to understand hypnosis, hypnotic theory and application then the book Hypnosis, Medicine of the Mind is better. On the other hand, if you are having trouble figuring out how to phrase an induction or how to create the wording that produces the results that you want then this book is a good one to reference for example scripts. Here is where I think it's greatest value lies - lots and lots of example scripts to help you understand how to phrase things because how you say it greatly determines the results that you get.

1.0 out of 5 stars Old fashioned "You are under my power" hypnosis, June 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Master Secrets of Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis (Hardcover)

The only good thing about this book is the hypnotic discs that come with it. Other than that, this book is a joke. May as well have been written 100 years ago. Typical voodoo witch doctor hypnosis wherein the client doesn't have a clue what's being done to them. Don't waste your money. If you want to learn hypnosis, there's a few good books out there. This is not one of them.
