Summary: Rapid Change Can Happen
Review: This is THE handbook for integrating Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Brief Therapy, and Hypnosis into a highly effective model for beginning and experienced therapists.
As a psychologist with 25 years of experience and some training with Dr. Milton Erickson I can still learn from the clever and expert "reframing" and protocols offered by these two distinguished clinicans.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how to change dysfunctional habits.

Summary: Author's Review
Review: We wrote this book for therapists and other health professionals who are either new to the use of hypnosis as a clinical tool or who have experience with hypnosis and want to refine their skills. It is based on over forty years of the clinical experience of the senior author, Jordan I. Zarren, M.S.W., DAHB, and over twenty years of the clinical experience of the second author, Bruce N. Eimer, Ph.D., ABPP.Our book teaches basic prnciples for inducing waking hypnosis and hynotic trance. We explain how hypnosis can enhance therapeutic communication and therapy outcomes. We explain the basics of effective hypnotic suggestion and provide numerous scripts containing explicit verbalizations of suggestions and treatment strategies for a wide range of psychological and medical problems (e.g., anxiety disorders, harmful habits, depression, chronic anger, problem drinking and eating, chronic pain, preparation for surgery). A whole section is devoted to Jordan Zarren's highly effective, original one-visit approach for helping people stop smoking. Hypnosis can be used to shorten treatment time and improve the effectiveness of other interventions. It is very applicable for psychotherapists of any orientation, as well as for psychologists, physicians, dentists, nurses, psychiatrists, mental health and substance abuse counselors, clinical social workers, and pastoral counselors. Our book will help you as a health clinician, change what you do so that your work is more effective and satisfying, or it will help you to continue to do what you are doing better. If you are a seriously curious layperson who is interested in learning more about hypnosis and dispelling many of the myths and misconceptions surrounding hypnosis, or if you are considering seeking the services of a qualified hypnosis clinician, this book will be very informative, useful and helpful.
