In the 23 years since this book was first published, numerous books
on the same lines have appeared. Techniques vary minimally, and
very few discoveries or developments have been made in the field of
using hypnosis in therapy. Such research as has appeared largely
confirms what has been known for a very long time, such as its
efficacy as an adjunct to chemical analgesia and anaesthesia for
intrusive and painful surgical procedures. However, during that
period a tremendous and astonishing amount of research has appeared
in the fields of neurology, especially brain function,
endocrinology and immunology and their interaction, or, more
accurately, their total integration with psychological processes.
While hypnotic techniques are much as they have been for so long,
the underlying and mediating roles of these physical mechanisms in
hypnosis are now substantially revealed. Understanding how hypnotic
suggestions produce physical effects, and how these physical
processes affect what is to be done in hypnosis will illuminate and
guide what is attempted in hypnotherapy. The more the therapist
bears these mechanisms in mind, the more effective and focused his
work will be. This new edition therefore includes a summary account
of the most cogent discoveries of the last two decades, and
references to some of the most important knowledge acquired in this
period in psycho-neuro-endocrino-immunology.
