Book Hypnosis and Imagination

Download or read book Hypnosis and Imagination written by Robert Kunzendorf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book's first three chapters-by Sheehan and Robertson; Wagstaff; Council, Kirsch, and Grant - conclude that three different factors turn imagination into hypnosis. The next three chapters-by Lynn, Neufeld, Green, Rhue, and Sandberg; Rader, Kunzendorf, and Carrabino; and Barrett-explore the hypnotic and the clinical significance of absorption in imagination. Three subsequent chapters-by Coe; Gwynn and Spanos; and Gorassini-examine the role of compliance and imagination in various hypnotic phenomena. Pursuing the possibility that some hypnotic hallucinations are experienced differently from normal images, the following two chapters-by Perlini, Spanos, and Jones; and Kunzendorf and Boisvert-focus on negative hallucinating, which reportedly "blocks out" perceptual reality. The remaining three chapters-by Wallace and Turosky; Crawford; and Persinger-pursue other physiological differences, and possible physiological connections, between hypnosis and imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

  • ISBN : 1468449133
  • Pages : 513 pages

Download or read book Modern Trends in Hypnosis written by David Waxman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 9th International Congress of Hypnosis and Psychosomatic Medicine expresses the continuity in the effort to gain scientific knowledge of hypnosis and scientific status for it, ever since the 1st International Congress for Experimental and Therapeutic Hypnotism was held in Paris in 1889, attended by many of the best-remembered psychiatrists and psychologists of the day - men such as Babinski, Bernheim, Binet, Delboeuf, Freud, James, Lombroso, F. W. H. Myers, Ribot, and many others. The continuity was broken by the period of reduced interest in hypnosis between the time of the 2nd Inter national Congress for Hypnotism in Paris in 1900, and the revival of interest shown by the 3rd International Congress for Hypnosis and Psychosomatic Medicine in Paris in 1965. Since then, the Congresses have met more regularly, making the one of which this is the report, the 9th. The programs of these Congresses have become increasingly rich through the years, with many of the older problems still with us but now studied more dispassionately in the light of new knowledge and new scientific methods in the design of investigations and the vali dation of scientific findings.

Book Theories of Hypnosis

    Book Details:
  • Author : Steven J. Lynn
  • Publisher : Guilford Press
  • Release : 1991-10-04
  • ISBN : 9780898623437
  • Pages : 668 pages

Download or read book Theories of Hypnosis written by Steven J. Lynn and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1991-10-04 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been said that "hypnosis is a collection of techniques in need of a unifying theory." (James A. Hall, Hypnosis: A Jungian Perspective). While the varied substrates of these techniques preclude the formation of any one theory of hypnosis, this volume presents a "state-of-the-science" view of existing theories of hypnosis. Written by eminent scholars and researchers, this uniquely authoritative resource also provides a wealth of information about the history of hypnosis, clinical and research perspectives on hypnosis, and the strengths and weaknesses of empirical methods used to address crucial theoretical questions. The streamlined organization of the volume facilitates the reader's ability to contrast and compare research findings and concepts across theories. In the introductory chapters, the editors describe hypnosis paradigms and schools of thought, including major points of convergence and divergence, as well as a broad vista of different perspectives on the history of hypnosis. The theoretical chapters that follow present definitive statements by an international array of eminent scholars who are at the forefront of conceptual advances in the realms of clinical and experimental hypnosis. Their contributions, written in lively first-person narratives, explore current thinking about hypnosis and represent important clinical and research traditions that extend beyond the territory of hypnosis to mainstream psychology. Providing a thorough discussion of hypnotic phenomena, the book tackles tough questions such as whether hypnosis evokes an altered state of consciousness; whether hypnotic behavior is involuntary; whether hypnotizability is stable, trait-like, and modifiable; and whether hypnotic and non-hypnotic behavior can be distinguished in meaningful ways. The diversity of viewpoints, including competitive ones, illuminates the debates which have expanded the frontiers of knowledge about hypnosis. In the concluding section, the editors compare and contrast these theories, discuss pertinent research issues, and lay out an agenda for future research. Given its stellar list of contributors and the unique niche it occupies as the first authoritative survey of its kind, THEORIES OF HYPNOSIS is of value to anyone interested in the topic. The editors' ten years of experience teaching hypnosis to psychology and medical students has resulted in a book with enormous appeal to students and instructors, as well as clinicians and researchers. A wide variety of professionals--academics, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, dentists--will find it an authoritative introduction and invaluable reference to this still-growing, ever-fascinating field.

Book Self Hypnosis

    Book Details:
  • Author : Erika Fromm
  • Publisher : Guilford Press
  • Release : 1990-08-03
  • ISBN : 9780898623413
  • Pages : 254 pages

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.

Book Richard Bandler s Guide to Trance formation

Download or read book Richard Bandler s Guide to Trance formation written by Richard Bandler and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wonderful book is for anyone interested in making their life significantly better. It is a goldmine of insights and techniques from one of the greatest geniuses of personal change. As you use the techniques in this book, you will exponentially increase your ability to make dramatic life-enhancing differences. It is by far one of the most entertaining and professionally stimulating books I have read. It will change your life!"--Paul McKenna, Ph.D, author of I Can Make You Thin and host of The Learning Channel's I Can Make You More than thirty years ago, Richard Bandler set out to discover how some therapists managed to effect startling change with their clients, while others were arguing about theories as their face patients waited in vain for help. Now widely regarded as the world's greatest hypnotist, Richard Bandler observed and developed patterns which became the foundation of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), arguably one of the most profoundly effective approaches for self-development and change. Since coauthoring the internationally influential books, The Structure of Magic Volume 1, and Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, Bandler has traveled the world, honing his skills and helping people solve problems and achieve goals when other "experts" have been unable to help. Richard Bandler's Guide to TRANCE-formation, he returns to his roots: hypnotic phenomena, trancework, and altered states to provide a highly compelling prescription for personal change. According to Bandler, "trance" is at the very foundation of human experience. People are not simply in or out of trance, but are moving from one trance to another. They have their work trances, their relationship trances, their driving trances, and their parenting trances. Some of these states are useful and appropriate; others are not. With his signature wit and contrarian approach to therapy, Bandler shows how anyone can reset or reprogram problem behaviors to desired alternatives, with lasting and life-altering results. Peppered with case studies and more than thirty exercises, Richard Bandler's Guide to TRANCE-formation, is an intriguing, engaging, and often amusing, read for anyone, whether they are new to NLP, want to further their NLP training, or simply want to make a positive difference in their own lives.

  • Author : Theodore Xenophon Barber
  • Publisher : Jason Aronson
  • Release : 1969
  • ISBN : 9781568217406
  • Pages : 282 pages

Download or read book Hypnosis written by Theodore Xenophon Barber and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 1969 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work offers a particular approach to hypnotism that explains the phenomena associated with the word hypnotism without assuming a special hypnoid state. The author shows that the capacity to be hypnotised results from nothing more unusual than having a positive attitude to the test situation, high motivation to perform maximally, and strong expectations of enactment of unusual behaviours. The book aims to bring rigour to its review of empirical data and discussion.
