This is a comprehensive evidence-based clinical manual for
practitioners ofcognitive-behavioural hypnotherapy.
Cognitive-behavioural hypnotherapy is increasingly becoming the
dominant approach to clinicalhypnosis. At a theoretical level, it
adopts a research-based cognitive-behavioural model ofhypnosis. At
a practical level, it closely integrates traditional hypnotherapy
andcognitive-behavioural therapy techniques. This is the first
major treatment manual to describe a fully integrated
cognitive-behavioural approach to hypnotherapy, based on current
evidence and best practice in the fields of hypnotism and CBT. It
is the product of years of work by the author, a
cognitive-behavioural therapist and specialist in clinical
hypnosis, with overfifteen years' experience in the therapy field.
This book should be essential reading for anyoneinterested in
modern evidence-based approaches to clinical hypnosis. It's also an
importantresource for cognitive-behavioural therapists interested
in the psychology of suggestion and the useof mental imagery
techniques.
Hypnotherapy is arguably the oldest modality of psychological
therapy, at least in the modern sense. Psychologists have long
attempted to conceptualize hypnosis in terms of cognitive and
behavioral processes and the term cognitive-behavioral approach to
hypnosis was first coined in 1974 by Theodore Barber, and his
colleagues, one of the most prolific and influential researchers in
the field of hypnosis. Since then cognitive research on hypnosis
has continued to evolve alongside the assimilation of modern
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques within the framework
of hypnotherapy and vice versa. This book explores the historical
and conceptual relationship between hypnotherapy and
cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT). It proceeds to offer a modern
cognitive conceptualization of hypnosis, based on the writings of
James Braid the founder of hypnotherapy and drawing upon modern
cognitive-behavioral research on hypnosis. The author carefully
explores the combination of hypnosis with both cognitive and
behavioral interventions and ways in which methods can be adapted
in the light of therapeutic principles derived from both fields.
The book aims to provide a comprehensive core text for the practice
of cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy and to facilitate further
dialogue between practitioners of hypnosis and CBT."
