Download or read book Clinical Self hypnosis written by Shirley Sanders and published by Guilford Publications. This book was released on 1991 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-hypnosis, a technique that enables clients to think, self-direct, and change their experience in desired ways, has long been used by practitioners from a variety of orientations. Although other books address this powerful technique, until now there has been no one resource to describe the different ways self-hypnosis is taught and the many ways it can be utilized in psychotherapy. A state-of-the-art presentation, this book reflects the work of noted hypnotherapists as well as the author's own clinical experience. It describes how words, formulas, and images are used to verify clients' experiences and it captures a sense of the inner experience that the words and the images evoke. Divided into four sections, the book opens with a historical review of early healing practices which appear related to the eventual development of self-hypnosis. Examining methods that our ancestors used in folk and ancient medicine, this section demonstrates the constant theme of the word as symbol or representation of change for the better. The second section describes a variety of techniques used for teaching self hypnosis. Verbatim examples of how patients are taught by several leaders in the field are presented, as are some examples of patient-generated self-hypnosis experiences. The third section addresses the practical applications of self-hypnosis in a variety of orientations including eclectic, behavioral, psychoanalytic, physiological, and humanistic. Each orientation is presented objectively without criticism or evaluation to allow the reader to compare the different approaches. This section also demonstrates how self-hypnosis techniques can be tailored to the disorder, and each application described is accompanied by a clinical case example. The final section summarizes the state-of-the-art of self-hypnosis and discusses conclusions and implications for the future. The first consolidation of the broad array of theories and techniques used in the clinical practice of self-hypnosis, this book serves as an ideal resource for the seasoned clinician as well as an introduction to the beginner. Psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, physicians and students in any of these fields will find much of interest. It also is an excellent supplementary text for graduate courses in psychotherapy, hypnosis, pain management, and self growth.

Download or read book Trance and Treatment written by Herbert Spiegel and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2008-05-20 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is hypnosis? Despite widespread misconceptions, hypnosis is not a treatment in itself; instead, it is a facilitator -- a useful diagnostic tool that can help the practitioner choose an appropriate treatment modality and accelerate various primary treatment strategies. The second edition of this remarkable work (first published 25 years ago) is written to provide both beginning and seasoned practitioners with a brief, disciplined technique for mobilizing and learning from an individual's capacity to concentrate. Putting to rest both exaggerated fears about hypnosis and overblown statements of its efficacy, this compelling volume brings scientific discipline to a systematic exploration of the clinical uses and limitations of hypnosis. The challenge was to develop a clinical measurement that could transform a fascinating amalgam of anecdotes, speculations, clinical intuitions and observations, and laboratory advances into a more fruitful and systematic body of information. Thus was born the authors' Hypnotic Induction Profile (HIP), a crucial 10-minute clinical assessment procedure that relates the spectrum of hypnotizability to personality style, psychopathology, and treatment outcome. Structured to reflect the flow of a typical evaluation and treatment session and highlighted by case examples throughout, this remarkable synthesis describes how to use the HIP, reviews relevant literature, and details principles and short- and long-term treatment strategies for smoking control; eating disorders; anxiety, concentration, and insomnia; phobias; pain control; psychosomatic disorders and conversion symptoms; trichotillomania; stuttering; and acute and posttraumatic stress disorders and dissociation. Meticulously referenced and indexed, this in-depth work concludes with an appendix on the interpretation and standardization of the HIP.This unique work stands out in the literature because It is written both as an introduction for practitioners new to hypnosis and as an in-depth guide for practitioners with wide experience in hypnosis. Unlike current clinical works, it emphasizes the importance of performing a systematic assessment of hypnotizability to identify, measure, and utilize a given patient's optimal therapeutic potential -- a process that, until now, has been relegated to clinical intuition. It describes human behavior phenomenologically as it relates to hypnosis in a probable rather than an absolute fashion. It reviews only specific portions of the literature that are particularly relevant to the important themes presented by the authors. Wherever possible, the authors apply statistical methods to test their hypotheses. The realm of scientific investigation encompassing hypnosis and psychological dysfunction is comparatively new. This exceptional volume, with its profusion of systematic data, will spark controversy and interest among scientific students of hypnosis everywhere, from psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychoanalysts to physicians, dentists, and other interested clinicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Self Hypnosis written by Erika Fromm and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1990-08-03 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While used abundantly in clinical work, self-hypnosis has been somewhat neglected as a subject of systematic study. An outstanding exception to this trend has been the work of Erika Fromm and her colleagues at the University of Chicago, who have for the last two decades extended the theoretical and empirical base of this technique. Now, key publications of this research group are compiled in one volume along with much new material by these authors, providing a full perspective on the development of their methods and theories. As such, SELF-HYPNOSIS is the first systematic, empirically oriented exploration of the phenomena and characteristics of self-initiated self-hypnosis. Moreover, its examination of self-hypnosis, taking the experiential rather than the behavioral approach, yields a more complete study of the aspects of the self that can unfold during hypnosis. In the early 1970s, Fromm and her colleagues set out to answer several intriguing questions about self-hypnosis: What are the boundaries of the self-hypnosis experience? How does self-hypnosis compare with traditional hypnotist-present hypnosis? Can self-hypnosis be taught following the guidelines of traditional hypnosis? What type of individual is more susceptible to or skilled in self-hypnosis? This volume presents the methods and results of this group's work, an approach that has come to be known as the Chicago paradigm. Introductory chapters establish the theoretical framework utilized. They provide an overview of the literature; review the methods, procedures, qualitative samples, quantitative data, and clinical applications; and evaluate pilot study results on the phenomenological similarities and differences of self-hypnosis and heterohypnosis. At the core of SELF-HYPNOSIS is its presentation of key empirical research involving two separate areas. First is the analysis of extensive questionnaires that compare self-hypnosis and heterohypnosis and examine self-hypnosis proper as well as the unfolding of self-hypnosis over time. Second is an examination of cognitive processes, self-hypnosis, and their relationship to personality. These processes include the modes of ego in self-hypnosis, the role of imagery, and the process of absorption. Clinical implications and applications are considered, as are therapist-patient factors that contribute to successful self-hypnosis. A major contribution to the scientific study of self-initiated self-hypnosis, SELF-HYPNOSIS: THE CHICAGO PARADIGM is essential reading for all researchers and theoreticians in the field of hypnosis and in phenomenological psychology. In addition, it will be of enormous value to those psychologists, physicians, and dentists seeking to more effectively utilize self-hypnosis in clinical practice.

Download or read book Essentials of Clinical Hypnosis written by Steven J. Lynn and published by American Psychological Association (APA). This book was released on 2006 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is essentially clinical in nature. But it is a clinical book with a research base. The clinical strategies and techniques that are presented are ones that the authors have used in their practice and that they have taught their graduate students to use. They are procedures with an evidential base. Many of the specific techniques they describe have been validated in clinical trials and outcome studies, and their approach to most strategic issues has been shaped by their understanding of the research literature in hypnosis, psychotherapy, and psychopathology. If there is a fundamental difference between this book and the many other guides that have been published on clinical applications of hypnosis, it is the degree to which the principles and practices the authors describe are evidencebased. Hence, the subtitle of this book. The authors aim to bring their enthusiasm for integrating hypnosis with empirically supported methods to a wide readership and to move hypnosis more securely into the mainstream of established clinical practice."
