Editorial Reviews

Review
"...EXISTENTIAL HYPNOTHERAPY sums up many powerful techniques and new concepts based on the combined experience of these well respected clinicians while describing many refreshing and new approaches. [The authors'] writing style is clear and entertaining and for anyone involved in therapy the book would be a useful addition to their library." --European Journal of Clinical Hypnosis "Although specializing in hypnosis, King and Citrenbaum are first of all superior clinicians. They know psychotherapy....The authors' principal concern is with the what of therapy. I agree with them when they say that in most instances in the book the word psychotherapy may be submitted for hypnotherapy. The book is unique for its combination of existential principles and hypnotherapy. Certainly one does not have to practice hypnosis or be an existential therapist to learn from this book. That it is relatively brief is another plus for busy therapists." --Psychotherapy in Private Practice "A practical guide to hypnotic techniques such as imagery, embedded suggestions, anchors, metaphors, and refraining. Case vignettes illustrate their use for different presenting problems, and sample hypnotic sessions are given in detail....Psychotherapists in training should find the book interesting and instructive." --Readings -- Review

Review
"Vivid case studies illustrate clinical techniques and make this most inviting reading." --J. Solis, Ph.D., Acapulco

"King and Citrenbaum may well be the Siskel and Ebert of the traditional pathology centered approach...Critical and controversial! However, King and Citrenbaum may just be right!" --Cardwell C. Nuckols, Ph.D.

"Once again, the team of Citrenbaum and King has made an invaluable contribution to the professional literature in hypnotherapy, adding to their earlier works Irresistible Communication; 20 Modern Clinical Hypnosis for Habit Control. Their knowledge of the subject is immense, bolstered by many years of experience as psychologists who utilize hypnotherapy in their practices. The writing style is crisp, and the book is filled with illustrative case vignettes. They have managed to meld the topics of existentialism and hypnosis into a highly readable and interesting treatise, which should appeal to both students and practitioners of modern psychological hypnosis." --Lewis B. Morgan, Ph.D., Professor of Counseling and Human Relations, Villanova University

"The existential framework of King and Citrenbaum's latest book illuminates their dynamic approach to clinical hypnosis. This cogent elucidation of Milton Erickson's pioneering work, rich with case examples, will be welcomed by their hundreds of satisfied workshop participants. I was particularly impressed with their provocative critique of addictions theory which questions some of the basic 'truths' and points the clinician toward new treatment strategies." --William M. Cohen, M.D., Acting Director, Child Development Unit, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine

"As the Ericksonian field matures, it naturally encounters its ancestors. In this book, the world of hypnotherapy meets that of existentialism, emerging with a therapy that challenges long held assumptions while celebrating and deepening the power of personal choice." --Hillel Zeitlin, LCSW-C, Director, Maryland Institute for Ericksonian Hypnosis and Psychotherapy

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, February 26, 2001
By Bob (USA) - See all my reviews
This book is so full of common sense wisdom that you may wonder why you haven't heard it all before. Yet the approach is unique, especially on dealing with addictions. Also, the use of client generated metaphors and imbedded suggestions is very well explained and interesting. I probably have enjoyed this book as much as any on hypnosis. Very enlightening!

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, February 20, 2001
By Bob (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
The chapter on addiction was unique. The approach taken about the addiction fad was different than other books I have read on the subject. While the book covers a wide range of hypnotherapy topics, including a very good chapter on metaphors as client controlled, the chapter on addictions alone would have made the book worthwile. It is a must read, and was a pleasant surprise to me-much more than I expected!

5.0 out of 5 stars sophisticated, philo- and psychologically based viewpoint, July 9, 1996
By A Customer
A good treatise to help understand the very bases of hypno- therapeutic possibilities to help the patients. More a mature way of unserstanding than an elementary book for learning.
