Originally published in 1991, this book covers a comprehensive
range of the applications of hypnotic techniques in therapy for
psychological disorders, and medical conditions where such
techniques are a valuable adjunct. In the years before publication
psychologists, medical doctors, dentists and allied professional
workers had come to make increasing use of hypnosis in their work,
and there was a considerable amount of relevant research literature
available in journals. Such literature is reviewed, and served as a
practical guide for professionals at the time. The book begins by
explaining what is meant by hypnosis today, and traces its
historical background. Some fundamental questions such as
individual differences in susceptibility to hypnosis are discussed
in relation to therapy. Separate chapters are devoted to the key
topics of behaviour therapy, different forms of psychotherapy,
psychosomatic medicine, the treatment of pain, and applications in
medical and surgical procedures. The modern status of hypnotic
techniques in obstetrics and in dentistry is reviewed, and a
separate chapter on the use of hypnosis with children will be of
special interest to educational and clinical psychologists. A final
chapter reviews the use of hypnosis by various professions and
para-medical disciplines, and discusses the possible abuses that
may arise both through unqualified people seeking to practise
"hypnotherapy", and by professionals acting outside their proper
range of competence.
