Summary: An Excellent read
Review: 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.

Summary: Essential text for the hypnotherapist
Review: Corey Hammond has artfully combined the works of skilled hypnotherapists into a comprehensive text which details the many uses and techniques of hypnotherapy. Fondly called by myself and my colleagues, "The Big Red Book", it remains one of the few texts I refer to on a daily basis. It stimulates my own creativity as a clinician and provides thought-provoking and incredibly useful solutions to difficult clinical problems. I recommend this work highly.

Summary: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Review: I discovered this book during my Clinical Hypnotherapy training and found it a wonderful tool. I've been in practice since 1992 and still refer to this manual for script ideas. Many of the suggestions can be used straight from the book, although I tend to modify and/or adapt them to suit my client's needs. It is an important part of my hypnotherapy library.

Summary: An Invaluable Reference Guide
Review: I have found this book to be an excellent reference guide, despite the fact that it is missing 30 pages of text in the middle of the book, an error that the publisher should have caught.Filled with a wide range of scripts, the book is a great tool. Although I don't use any of the scripts verbatim, they have provided a good launching point for my own work with my clients. After nine years in clinical hypnotherapy practice, this book still holds a prominent place on my reference shelf.

Summary: Excellent for the office
Review: I have quite a number of scripts but since reading this book I have found it to be extremely useful and full of suggestions and metaphors from many professional people. Doctors have the physcian's desk manual, this is a must for the hypnosis office. Not for those just who want to learn hypnosis. I have used these in sessions I have not wanted to do and have recieved great results and have increased by client base.

Summary: An Often-Used, Valuable Reference
Review: 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.

Summary: Very good
Review: I received and have read some part of the book. It seems to me that it is very good for those ones who already know a little about hypnosis

Summary: Mind pablum for the gullible
Review: Mr Hammond refers favorably to the impossible claims of Milton Erickson. In fact Erickson's published accounts of his cases involve impossible-to-believe coincidences and improbabilities that raise the question: How come nobody else has ever claimed such results? (see Hypnotism Then and Now, p. 119)
Robert Baker disproved hypnotism in spades. (see They Call It Hypnosis)
And in The Disinformation Cycle, p. 40, I wrote,"If hypnotism existed, somebody would have proven it by now. Hypnotism has never been demonstrated to exist, and almost certainly does not exist." Anyone who thinks otherwise should ask himself: How come the one incontrovertible demonstration of hypnotism's reality, that could not be explained away as playacting, self-delusion or "trying harder," remains as unattainable today as it was in Anton Mesmer's time?
This book is useful to any humbug who wishes to prey on the gullible by claiming abilities that do not exist.

Summary: Helpful Reference for Hypnotherapists
Review: 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.
