Summary: A first-rate resouce book for the beginner and the expert
Review: Although the companion tape is definitely geared more for the beginning student or practitioner of hypnosis, the book itself is an invaluable resource of scripts for use either as-is, or by "adding salt to taste." The categorization of the scripts allows for both ease of use as well as learning by example the difference between induction, deepening, therapeutic, and session ending phases of trancework.If you don't have this one on your shelf, get it

Summary: Excellent introduction to hypnosis without being simplistic
Review: As a newcomer to self-hypnosis, and something of a skeptic, I found the book to provide a clear and sensible explanation of the underlying philosophy of Ericksonian hypnosis, with excellent scripts for various uses of self-hypnosis, which can be rewritten as needed. The tape, which has two trance-inducing talks, is an essential companion. I listen to one of the trance procedures and then read the appropriate script while still in something of a trance state, and have experienced beneficial changes. For me, the changes have been gradual, however, not the dramatic epiphanies some associa te with hypnosis.

Summary: Well Done!
Review: Here's the book for all those who need to understand their client's "categories of prescription". A simple and concise method for indirect induction, and metaphor "scription". I liked this book a great deal, and have utilized many of the scripts verbatim! Keep this book handy as a reference no matter what your style of practice.

Summary: An immediate way to incorporate trance into therapy
Review: I really began appreciating this book after attending an Ericksonian hypnotherapy course. The induction scripts are good examples of different types of inductions and are usable as written. The metaphors (where the work gets done) are also very useful as is and as you get more experienced they make great bases for customized scripts. The chapter "on doing hypnotherapy" is one of the best introductions to the art I've seen and covers much of the information I received in my coursework. This is the one hypnotherapy book I use regularly while doing sessions with clients. (That is when my coworkers aren't borrowing it.)

Summary: A useful book on hypnotic scripts
Review: The authors present a simplistic notion of therapy and hypnosis. Their talk of "mini-minds" reminded me of the movie Austin Powers. You won't find sophisticated theory here, but there is much of practical value. This book is definitely worth owning as a reference manual, but it is overpriced for what you get.

Summary: Inspiring Scripts
Review: The book has a a variety of inductions, emerging scripts and scripts for dealing with assortment of situations a hypnotherapist may encounter in his practice. Most scripts contain metaphors which may work more effectively in one-on-one practice if they are adapted to the one's that may be more meaningful for the client. Here's a sample script from this collection: SWEET DREAMS SCRIPT
Tonight, perhaps tomorrow too,
your unconscious mind
can give you a dream,
a very special dream
that clarifies the problem
indicates the source perhaps,
but tells you quite clearly
how to solve that problem now.
And each night afterwards,
until you understand it,
until you decide to do it or not,
that dream can return to you
in one form or another.
And every day
as you go about your business,
your unconscious can find something,
some thought, perception, awareness,
a taste perhaps or a sensation,
or even a color,
that seems familiar
and reminds you of something,
reminds you fo what your unconscious mind
is trying to tell you,
until you fully understand
and use that understanding for you.
