Hypnosis has always captured the attention of some of the most
creative thinkers in the field of psychology. Today, hypnosis and
hypnotic phenomena are studied with state-of-the-science
neuroimaging techniques, and hypnosis has informed cognitive
science (and vice-versa) in meaningful ways. In this second edition
of the landmark ""Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis"", editors Steven
Jay Lynn, Judith Rhue, and Irving Kirsch have undertaken a
significant revision and update to their classic text, first
published over ten years ago. It is divided into six sections:
Foundations and General Considerations, which includes chapters on
the history of hypnosis and measures of hypnotizability; Theories
of Hypnosis, in which hypnosis is examined within the context of
various therapeutic constructs; Hypnotic Techniques, which includes
a how-to primer for trained therapists to conduct hypnotic
inductions, as well as chapters about the integration of hypnosis
with mindfulness strategies; Treating Psychological Problems and
Populations, which discusses the use of hypnosis in treatment for
depression, PTSD and Anxiety; Health and Sport Psychology, which
examines hypnotic treatments for pain control and surgery as well
as for maximizing athletic performance; and finally Further Issues
and Extensions, which addresses, among other things, popular and
cross-cultural conceptions of hypnosis. ""Handbook of Clinical
Hypnosis, Second Edition"" is the comprehensive resource for
clinicians, researchers, and anyone interested in the theory and
practice of clinical hypnosis.
This valued resource helps practitioners and students evaluate the
merits of popular yet controversial practices in clinical
psychology and allied fields, and base treatment decisions on the
best available research. Leading authorities review widely used
therapies for a range of child, adolescent, and adult disorders,
differentiating between those that can stand up to the rigors of
science and those that cannot. Questionable assessment and
diagnostic techniques and self-help models are also examined. The
volume provides essential skills for thinking critically as a
practitioner, evaluating the validity of scientific claims, and
steering clear of treatments that are ineffective or even harmful.
