Excellent, Comprehensive Yet User-Friendly Primer, August 8, 2002
I took one of the American Institute of Hypnotherapy's accelerated certificate programs 6 years ago and, though I decided not to pursue hypnotherapy as a career, I have never regretted taking the class, if for no other reason than I would never have been exposed to Dr. Krasner's wonderful book.Even had I not taken the class, all the information on how to effectively hypnotize and teach someone about hypnosis is presented in easy-to-understand language and details established psychological concepts that further explain and support hypnosis. Krasner's own revolutionary method of performing hypnosis is broken down in explicit detail, and there are lots of scripts for various inductions (rapid, progressive relaxation, etc.) and supporting scripts to build off of to help people conquer fears, pain, smoking, weight loss, anxiety, shyness, etc. as well as pointers and suggestions on how to make your presentation as effective as possible. This is probably the best book available for anyone interested in learning more about hypnosis and/or connecting with the subconscious mind, whether one's own or someone else's.
