Summary: Must Have Book for the Student of Hypnosis
Review: As a hypnosis and hypnotherapy trainer, I recommend this book to all of my students. I have received nothing but rave reviews from them. I also recommend Mr. Hunter's book, The Art of Hypnotherapy. Both of these books are used as text books in hypnotherapy schools! For good reason! They come through with the information that a student needs to be well educated in the field.

Summary: Good Book
Review: Contary to the other reviews I found this book poor on delivery. The author seems to have a hang-up about "degree qualified people" and points out their failing repeatedly. Nor am I a fan of itallics, enboldening, and large letters to highlight. There are just too many references, by chapter and page to text written by his mentor, Charlie Tibbett. Stepping over all this, the content is badly produced and the insight into hypnosis was only average. The overpowering message is "get properly trained".

Summary: A very well composed publication
Review: Having been interested in the field of Hypnosis for over twenty years I have read many publications on the subject. This book is on target. It is worthy of reading and having in your Library. If you are interested in learning more about the ART, this is a must read type of book. My Thanks to Mr Hunter for composing this publication in a manner that allows it to be easily read and comprehended. I am looking forward to the release of his newest book "Master the Power of Self-Hypnosis.

Summary: Shallow and Too Much "Hero Workship"
Review: The way the book is written just puts me off. There is simply too much hero worship. "Tebetts" appears so many times that I can only say that whoever writes this way is lacking "common sense". Yes, only a full page photo of Charles Tebbets and a drawing/illustration of the author in front of CT. Also described CT as being "legendary". Another impression I get after reading this book is that the author seems to be a inflated ego. These aside, the book is quite shallow and serves some purpose to the beginner. However, I must add that there are better books out there than this for beginners. So don't waste your time on this one. Okay if you borrow from the library, but I wouldn't buy this book

Summary: Another excellent introductory text.
Review: This book is the first of two textbooks that the author uses for his college course on hypnotherapy. As such, it is a little different from the "general purpose" introductions to hypnosis and hypnotherapy which are its general peers. A history of the science, some theoretical discussion, and a lot of practical instruction are included. While I know the late Mr. Tibbetts was a leading practitioner and educator, I have to agree with another reviewer that the hero-worship should be toned down a bit. It doesn't detract from the book's value, it's just repetitive. That being said, the book is a fine introduction to the field. I look forward to the second text, "The Art of Hypnotherapy."

Summary: I agree 100% with ...
Review: This is one of the most poorly written books I've ever read. It uses all kinds of exclamation points where they're not needed! And it reads like a cheap two-day seminar. When I came here to warn everyone about this book, I had a couple of noticable flaws already in mind, and it made me laugh that ..., said the EXACT things I was thinking i.e. The guy has a really, really creepy hangup about "his late mentor Charles Tibbetts" and is obviously threatened by people with "advanced degrees," mostly because he's a cheap motivational speaker that teaches at TACOMA COMMUNITY COLLEGE. He repeats irrelevant points (such as why he calls his clients "clients" instead of subjects) over and over as if he can't remember that he already covered it or doesn't realize the point is minor. The writing is shoddy, the insight is shallow, his "poise" is extremely defensive, and his own insecurity drips off pages through the words. Is that enough? DON'T BUY THIS BOOK.
