5.0 out of 5 stars An Often-Used, Valuable Reference, December 10, 1999
By DrTerryND,DCH,MEd,NBCDCH (Milwaukee, WI United States) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book several years ago, when I first entered private practice as a hypnotherapist. Nine years later, I still refer to it frequently. As a previous reviewer commented, many of the scripts can be used verbatim; however, I use them mostly as guides and personalize them to the client. It's a must-have book for every hypnotherapist's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Reference for Hypnotherapists, October 27, 2004
The book contains brief introduction to Ericksonian hypnotic language patterns / how to formulate hypnotic and posthypnotic suggestions with 14 major sections of short hypnotherapy scripts for dealing with just about any issue a hypnotherapist may encounter in practice.

Some of the sections are: pain management, self-esteem, anxiety, hypnosis for cancer patients, hypnosis for sleep disorders, hypnosis for addictions, weight loss, academic performance, and hypnosis for children.

While I do not recommend that you necessarily use the scripts verbatim as they are written, this book may serve as an invaluable resource for ideas and possible suggestions to help you in your work as hypnotherapist.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent read, November 30, 1999
A super rescource for the practitioner regardless of profession. Many, many helpful suggestions and hints to enable the appropriate therapy to reach target. The text gives scripts, "stories", and suggestions for you to utilize in your practice. This is a great source for ideas in framing suggestion. I have used this text extensively, for pain relief, distraction, and for post-op recuperation for my patients.
