Describes in detail how Mirroring Hands is conducted, and explores
the framework of knowledge and understanding that surrounds and
supports its therapeutic process. Richard Hill and Ernest L.
Rossi's The Practitioner's Guide to Mirroring Hands: A
Client-Responsive Therapy that Facilitates Natural Problem-Solving
and Mind-Body Healing describes in detail how Mirroring Hands is
conducted, and explores the framework of knowledge and
understanding that surrounds and supports its therapeutic process.
Foreword by Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D. Mirroring Hands is a practical
therapeutic technique that can be utilized by all practitioners for
the benefit of their clients. With a tranquil state of focused
attention as the starting point, the practitioner invites the
client to explore an issue by projecting it into their hands; with
one hand representing the difficulty or disturbance, the other
becomes the natural container for the opposite reflections -
resolution, ease and comfort. This enables the client to engage
with their deeper therapeutic self - thereby facilitating the shift
into a therapeutic consciousness - and connect to the natural flow,
cycles and self-organizing emergence that shift the client toward
beneficial change. In this instructive and illuminating manual,
Hill and Rossi show you how Mirroring Hands enables clients to
unlock their natural problem-solving and mind-body healing
capacities to arrive at a resolution in a way that many other
therapies might not. The authors offer expert guidance as to its
client-responsive applications and differentiate seven variations
of the technique in order to give the practitioner confidence and
comfort in their ability to work within and around the
possibilities presented while in session. Furthermore, Hill and
Rossi punctuate their detailed description of how Mirroring Hands
is conducted with a diverse range of illustrative casebook examples
and stage-by-stage snapshots of the therapy in action: providing
scripted language prompts and illustrative images of a client's
hand movement that demonstrate the processes behind the technique
as it takes the client from disruption into the therapeutic; and
from there to integration, resolution, and a state of well-being.
The Practitioner's Guide to Mirroring Hands begins by tracing the
emergence of the Mirroring Hands approach from its origins in
Rossi's studies and experiences with Milton H. Erickson and by
presenting a transcription of an insightful discussion between
Rossi and Hill as they challenge some of the established ways in
which we approach psychotherapy, health, and well-being. Building
upon this exchange of ideas, the authors define and demystify the
nature of complex, non-linear systems and skillfully unpack the
three key elements of induction to therapeutic consciousness -
focused attention, curiosity, and nascent confidence - in a section
dedicated to preparing the client for therapy. Hill and Rossi also
supply preparatory guidance for the therapist through explanation
of therapeutic dialogue's non-directive language principles, and
through exploration of the four-stage cycle - information,
incubation, breakthrough and illumination, and verification - that
facilitates the client's capacity to access their natural
problem-solving and mind-body healing. The authors also take care
to advocate Mirroring Hands as not only a therapeutic technique,
but also an approach to practice for all practitioners engaged in
solution-focused therapy. Through its enquiry into the vital
elements of client-cue observation, symptom-scaling, and
rapport-building inherent in the therapist-client relationship, The
Practitioner's Guide to Mirroring Hands shares a great store of
wisdom and insight that will help the practitioner become more
attuned to their clients' inner worlds and communication patterns.
Hill and Rossi draw on a wealth of up-to-date neuroscientific
research and academic theory to help bridge the gap between
therapy's intended outcomes and its measured neurological effects,
and, towards the book's close, also open the door to the study of
quantum field theory to inspire the reader's curiosity in this
fascinating topic. An ideal progression for those engaged in
mindfulness and meditation, The Practitioner's Guide to Mirroring
Hands is the first book on the subject specially written for all
mental health practitioners and is suitable for students of
counseling, psychotherapy, psychology, and hypnotherapy, as well as
anyone in professional practice.
