This review is from: Professional Hypnotism Manual: Introducing Physical and Emotional Suggestibility and Sexuality (Paperback)

An outstanding reference for novice and professional hypnotists alike. This book has the most up-to-date techniques on hypnosis and includes several methods of induction and some very practical scripts for conducting hypnotherapy sessions ranging from weight-loss to stopping smoking to dealing phobias and traumatic experiences. It even covers getting individuals to recall blocked memories or increasing the level of detail recalled in memories. This is written from a very professional clinical perspective. Several tests and evaluations are also given to test what type of hypnosis your subject is most susceptible to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn Real Hypnotism and How to Help Others (and yourself), March 14, 2001

By	Robert L. Choat (Granada Hills, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

John Kappas' book on professional hypnotism is not just another hypnotist's manual. It offers the beginner and professional alike a strong grounding in hypnotism. I've read hundreds of books on hynotism through the years and this is the very best. Some of the techniques that I've used in the other books only worked on about half the people I've tried it on. Kappas' Professional Hypnotism Manual worked on every single person I've tried it on. It also separates the myths from the realities of hypnotism.

If you ever wanted to learn about hypnotism - GET THIS BOOK!

After reading this book - I decided to become a student at John Kappas' school in Tarzana, CA - Hypnosis Motivation Institute. It's a year long school leading to a certification in Hypnotherapy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Prime Text for Hypnosis, October 17, 2002

By	Alvin Smith (Ventura, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This book is an excellent guide to modern hypnosis. The discovery of physical, emotional and intellectual suggestibility by Dr. Kappas has made it easy for therapists to cause their suggestions to patients to be far more productive. I have used the methods in my sports psychology work effectively. I recommend this book to all hypnotists and therapists.
