the most important methods in modern integrative health care have a
foundation in hypnosis, and that modern neuroscience is regularly
learning new things about brain functioning from brain scanning
studies of hypnotized individuals. The emphasis "in Essentials of
Hypnosis Second Edition" is on the use of hypnosis as an effective
tool of treatment. Thus, readers will enjoy and benefit from the
wealth of clinical insights and helpful hints Dr. Yapko offers for

of this dynamic field are well captured in this practical
volume
In the popular imagination, hypnosis is misconstrued as something
done to people, as if the hypnotist hypnotises them. And
hypnotherapy is similarly misconceived as something done to
clients' problems, as if the therapist could unilaterally counter
or cure them. In a refreshing departure from conception-as-usual,
Douglas Flemons offers another view, articulating relational ideas
about how minds and bodies communicate and learn. In his
characteristically casual and concise way, Flemons explains and
illustrates how hypnosis, like meditation, is invited, not induced,
and how hypnotherapy entails the altering and unravelling of
knotted strands of problematic experience, not the controlling and
abolishing of labelled afflictions. The therapist gets in sync with
clients so they can, together, extemporaneously facilitate changes
to undesired thoughts, urges, emotions, sensations or behaviours.
This book takes you to the heart of hypnotherapy, to the
respectful, playful practice of utilising clients' flow experience
to collaboratively discover and create opportunities for embodied
learning and therapeutic change.
Depression is a debilitating human condition and a common cause of
suffering worldwide. This elicits a sense of urgency for mental
health professionals to meet this challenge of the treatment of
depression. Hypnosis plays a vital role in that treatment and in
the efficacy of psychotherapy. This book focuses on the structuring
and delivering of hypnotic interventions for major depression, with
a substantial use of concepts and techniques from
cognitive-behavioral and strategic approaches as a foundation.
Current research on depression is used in this book to emphasize
the still-growing knowledge of depression. Hypnosis has shown
itself to be effective in not only reducing symptoms, but in
teaching the skills (such as rationale thinking, effective
problem-solving and coping strategies, and positive relationship
skills) that can even prevent recurrences. Mental health
professionals will find the detailed examples of hypnotic
strategies invaluable to their own practice and application of
hypnosis in the treatment of depression.
In this book, Yapko not only demonstrates hypnosis is a viable and
powerful approach to the treatment of depression but also confronts
traditional criticism of its use head on. He first lays the
groundwork for the book's dual focus, opening with a discussion of
depressions. He then focuses on the historical perspective of
depression and hypnosis as "forbidden friends," shedding new light
on old myths about the use of hypnosis leading to hysteria, and
even suicide. The result is a definition of hypnosis as a flexible
and enlightened tool that offers precisely the multidimensionality
that the problem demands.

Michael Yapko's seminal 1992 book, Hypnosis and the Treatment of
Depressions, was the first book ever written on the subject of
applying hypnosis in the treatment of depressed individuals. Since
its publication, Yapko's work has not only withstood the test of
colleagues previously dismissive of the merits of hypnosis as a
tool of treatment, but has thrived in the face of it. Hypnosis and
Treating Depression diversifies the range of topics to consider and
increases the number of knowledgeable contributors on the subject
of treating depression with hypnosis. The book features chapter
contributions by highly experienced and well-known experts on using
hypnosis to treat specific forms of depression, with assessment and
intervention strategies as well as sample transcripts of the use of
hypnosis in therapy sessions. It discusses both broad and targeted
applications of hypnosis in treatment, the treatment of depression
with hypnosis in special populations, as well as special
considerations regarding hypnotic treatment. As a practical
guidebook for clinicians looking to add to their treatment
protocols, Hypnosis and Treating Depression: Applications in
Clinical Practice provides an updated and comprehensive volume on
therapeutic uses of hypnosis in the treatment of depression.
Maintaining that most cases of anxiety and depression will respond
to intelligently planned brief, directive therapies, Dr. Yapko has
assembled this collection of 17 insightful and challenging papers
illuminating such brief therapy methods. These innovative essays
from such respected practitioners as S.G. Gilligan, J.C. Mills,
E.L. Rossi, M.E. Seligman, and others, cover such topics as
disturbances of temporal orientation as a feature of depression;
the use of multisensory metaphors in the treatment of children's
fears and depression; a hypnotherapeutic approach to panic
disorder, anxiety as a function of depression; and more.

In Process-Oriented Hypnosis, internationally recognised
psychologist, Michael D. Yapko provides clinicians with a new
framework for utilising hypnosis with clients. Yapko encourages
clinicians to take a broader perspective, in which patterns rather
than individual symptoms are the emphasis of therapy. He offers
numerous insights into ways clinicians can home in on the process
of how people come to suffer various types of emotional distress.
Beyond these insights, Process-Oriented Hypnosis provides highly
practical information and specific examples for integrating this
innovative perspective into clinical work. The key patterns of
human experience are central to the first section of the book,
providing a sound conceptual foundation and a wide range of
examples. In the second section, Yapko provides ten richly
structured hypnosis session transcripts for clinicians to
insightfully adapt to their clients' needs. Process-Oriented
Hypnosis offers clinicians a fresh perspective for working with
clients that can be integrated into many different treatment
models.
First published in 1994. Some episodes of depression can even be
prevented, but the greater focus in this book is on responding to
the experience of depression that is already present in the
afflicted individual. This book represents an effort to make the
extremely complex and subjective experience of depression one that
can be better understood and more effectively treated. It does not
represent a school of therapy in a singular way. Rather, it
promotes the recognition of the diversity of human experience such
that an emphasis on anyone approach will seem obviously
self-limiting.

In recent years mindfulness has become integrated into many
clinicians' private practices, and become a staple of hospital and
university based treatment programs for stress reduction, pain,
anxiety management, and a host of other difficulties. Clinicians
are now routinely encouraging their clients to focus, be aware,
open, and accepting, and thereby derive benefit from the
mindfulness experience. How has mindfulness, a treatment tool that
might easily have been dismissed as esoteric only a few short years
ago, become so widely accepted and applied? One obvious answer:
Because it works. The empirical foundation documenting the
therapeutic merits of mindfulness is already substantial and is
still growing. This is not a book about documenting the therapeutic
merits of mindfulness, however. Rather, this book is the first of
its kind to address how and most importantly why guided mindfulness
meditations can enhance treatment. The focus in this book is on the
structure of guided mindfulness meditations and, especially, the
role of suggestion in these processes. Specifically, one of the
primary questions addressed in this book is this: When a
psychotherapist conducts guided mindfulness meditations (GMMs) for
some clinical purpose, how does mindfulness work? In posing this
question other questions arise that are every bit as compelling: Do
GMMs contain structural elements that can be identified and
amplified and thereby employed more efficiently? How do we
determine who is most likely to benefit from such methods? Can GMMs
be improved by adapting them to the needs of specific individuals
rather than employing scripted "one size fits all" approaches?
Discussing the role of suggestion in experience and offering the
author's concrete suggestions for integrating this work into
psychotherapy, this book is a practical guide to hypnosis,
focusing, and mindfulness for the clinician.
A powerful, family-based approach to understanding and treating depression that goes way beyond Prozac
Many people have been led to believe that depression is caused simply by a chemical imbalance in the brain, and as a result they look to science for convenient answers, hoping that "a capsule a day will keep depression away." Unfortunately, this narrow focus on biology and the use of medications has often led people to overlook other important influences, such as how our families can affect emotional health in powerful ways.
In Hand-Me-Down Blues, Dr. Michael Yapko carefully describes how the family can play a crucial role in the development of and recovery from depression. Parents introduce their children to various life experiences and inevitably reveal their own values, perspectives, and biases. Children typically learn to interpret life events in the same way their parents do, and their interpretations can be a basis for depression. Once depression strikes, it distorts family relationships, splintering families as it spreads from one person to another like a virus. Thus, children can "inherit" depression less from their parents' genes and more from their parents' attitudes and behaviors.
