Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is essentially clinical in nature. But it is a clinical book with a research base. The clinical strategies and techniques that are presented are ones that the authors have used in their practice and that they have taught their graduate students to use. They are procedures with an evidential base. Many of the specific techniques they describe have been validated in clinical trials and outcome studies, and their approach to most strategic issues has been shaped by their understanding of the research literature in hypnosis, psychotherapy, and psychopathology. If there is a fundamental difference between this book and the many other guides that have been published on clinical applications of hypnosis, it is the degree to which the principles and practices the authors describe are evidencebased. Hence, the subtitle of this book. The authors aim to bring their enthusiasm for integrating hypnosis with empirically supported methods to a wide readership and to move hypnosis more securely into the mainstream of established clinical practice."

Book excerpt: "This book is the sequel to our Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis, in which we attempted to provide practitioners, researchers, and students with a survey of modem clinical hypnosis. Our goal was to present a diversity of viewpoints relevant to the science and practice of clinical hypnosis. We felt that such a book was necessary, given the explosion of interest in the scientific and clinical foundations of hypnosis that has occurred over the past decade or so--a trend legitimized by evidence that hypnosis can increase the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral treatments of a variety of disorders (Kirsch, Montgomery, & Sapirstein, 1995)"--Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-hypnosis, a technique that enables clients to think, self-direct, and change their experience in desired ways, has long been used by practitioners from a variety of orientations. Although other books address this powerful technique, until now there has been no one resource to describe the different ways self-hypnosis is taught and the many ways it can be utilized in psychotherapy. A state-of-the-art presentation, this book reflects the work of noted hypnotherapists as well as the author's own clinical experience. It describes how words, formulas, and images are used to verify clients' experiences and it captures a sense of the inner experience that the words and the images evoke. Divided into four sections, the book opens with a historical review of early healing practices which appear related to the eventual development of self-hypnosis. Examining methods that our ancestors used in folk and ancient medicine, this section demonstrates the constant theme of the word as symbol or representation of change for the better. The second section describes a variety of techniques used for teaching self hypnosis. Verbatim examples of how patients are taught by several leaders in the field are presented, as are some examples of patient-generated self-hypnosis experiences. The third section addresses the practical applications of self-hypnosis in a variety of orientations including eclectic, behavioral, psychoanalytic, physiological, and humanistic. Each orientation is presented objectively without criticism or evaluation to allow the reader to compare the different approaches. This section also demonstrates how self-hypnosis techniques can be tailored to the disorder, and each application described is accompanied by a clinical case example. The final section summarizes the state-of-the-art of self-hypnosis and discusses conclusions and implications for the future. The first consolidation of the broad array of theories and techniques used in the clinical practice of self-hypnosis, this book serves as an ideal resource for the seasoned clinician as well as an introduction to the beginner. Psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, physicians and students in any of these fields will find much of interest. It also is an excellent supplementary text for graduate courses in psychotherapy, hypnosis, pain management, and self growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the most important volume on hypnosis and pain since the 1970s. It is a must-have for practitioners and researchers.---Arreed Barabasz, PhD, ABPP, Professor and Editor, International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis; author of Hypnotherapeutic Techniques, Second Edition; and Editor of Medical Hypnosis Primer: Clinical and Research Evidence The strain in pain lies mainly in the brain. Patterson shows us how to take advantage of that fact in clear and evidence-based language. If you want to add hypnotic analgesia to your set of psychotherapeutic skills painlessly, read this book. Your patients will thank you.---David Spiegel, MD, Willson Professor and Associate Chair, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine; coauthor of Trance and Treatment: Clinical Uses of Hypnosis Today, hypnosis and hypnotic phenomena are in the mainstream of clinical, cognitive, and social psychology, and practitioners can benefit from a wealth of research to guide their interventions. In this second edition of a landmark book, Lynn, Rhue, and Kirsch have undertaken a significant revision to their classic text, first published over 15 years ago. Through session transcripts, illustrative case examples, and step-by-step procedures, this highly readable volume explores the benefits of incorporating hypnotic methods into treatment plans for such common disorders and conditions as anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, pain and medical conditions, smoking, and eating disorders. This book lays out an empirically documented program for treating patients experiencing acute and chronic pain, two of the most common symptoms in modern society. Going beyond traditional biomedical remedies, Gatchel offers a comprehensive viewpoint that takes into consideration not only biological but also psychological and social variables. Clinical Hypnosis for Pain Control is a compelling argument for the use of hypnotic analgesia as a viable alternative to psychopharmacological interventions for controlling acute, chronic, and postoperative pain, as well as pain from nonsurgical procedures. Yet clinical hypnosis is not an "alternative" medicine, Patterson argues; rather, it is an innovative way of using a patient's subconscious resources to distract, dislocate, or reduce pain in a variety of clinical settings---from the ER to the hospital's rehabilitation wing. As the staff psychologist at a bum center, Patterson draws on his experiences---and many hypnotic inductions---in helping patients deal both with severe pain and with other types of acute and chronic pain, such as headaches, fibromyalgia, cancer, and neuropathy. Written for a general clinical audience---but particularly for pain specialists---this volume also provides a masterful survey of the different types of pain as well as a variety of easy-to-follow induction examples (with instructive commentary) for the major types of pain syndromes. The book is also an excellent resource for students and researchers who want to explore hypnotic analgesia's scientific basis and its growing acceptance as an evidence-based practice. In the penultimate chapter, Patterson outlines a groundbreaking approach of combining brief counseling techniques and Ericksonian hypnosis for long-term pain management.
