The handbook of hypnotic phenomena in psychotherapy by 10194102|John H. Edgette book cover

📘 The handbook of hypnotic phenomena in psychotherapy

Despite their clinical utility, hypnotic phenomena are vastly underutilized by therapists in their work with clients. Whether this is due to uncertainty about how to use specific techniques constructively, or how to elicit particular phenomena, or anxiety about not being able to obtain a desired result, this volume will guide therapists toward higher levels of clinical expertise. By describing varied hypnotic phenomena and how they can be used as vehicles of intervention. The Handbook of Hypnotic Phenomena in Psychotherapy takes the therapist beyond fundamental applications of hypnosis toward a broader, more sophisticated, scope of practice. This immensely readable book addresses the selection, elicitation, and therapeutic use of more than a dozen hypnotic phenomena. It offers step-by-step instruction on eliciting such phenomena as age progression, hypnotic dreaming, anesthesia, negative and positive hallucination, hypermnesia, catalepsy, hypnotic deafness, among others. Moreover, the book includes precise instructions on how to use the phenomena manifested in trance to provide more focused, goal-oriented, and emotionally meaningful psychotherapy. . Numerous case examples vividly illustrate intervention with anxiety disorders, trauma and abuse, dissociative disorders, depression, marital and family problems, sports and creative performance, pain, psychotic symptomatology, and other conditions. The Handbook of Hypnotic Phenomena in Psychotherapy will be used by therapists as a valuable clinical resource to expand their conceptualization of hypnosis, and thus enable them to develop a wider repertoire of skills with which they can confidently treat clients.
