Because of my background in formal education I was originally drawn to studying with a recognized training provider, members of the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC). My training with them was excellent, however it was greatly enhanced by Jonathan Royle's material and indeed Royle's material was excellent and far superior to the recognized course. His therapy skills are equal if not greater than the majority of therapists I have met to date and he teaches everything he knows in an open and honest manner. We need people like Royle to raise the profile of Hypnosis and I would recommend his courses to anyone who wants to become a better Hypnotist!”Dr. WILF ARCHER – PhD – www.mindskills.co.uk“A few years ago I attended a training run by Paul McKenna, Michael Breen and Richard Bandler, it was good and I learned a lot but Jonathan Royle 's training course make's them seem like old nannies! There is absolutely no time wasting or useless information and Royle's unique manner of teaching makes everything very easy to learn and remember. This course is without doubt money well spent!”FRANK LEA – www.hypnotherapycoventry.net “The course contains much unique material, which as far as I know is not taught anywhere else and will certainly make you a better Hypnotist and Therapist, especially when presenting any public demonstrations!”DAVID BOTSFORD – www.stopsmokingsolutions.co.uk “Having previously done a more conventional “approved” NLP course which took many days and cost lots of money, I would have said it was impossible to learn NLP in just two days! However after attending Royle's course I can honestly say that this is exactly what he does and he also teaches you what you need to know about clinical Hypnosis and his own approach of Complete Mind Therapy, in short this course is a worthwhile investment!”DEZ SELLARS – www.completemindtherapy.comIndeed many of Royle's Students have stated that this book teaches more of use in the real world of Hypnotherapy and Stage Hypnosis than all of the others on the market put together!

Book Medical Hypnosis  The principles of hypnotherapy

Download or read book Medical Hypnosis The principles of hypnotherapy written by Lewis Robert Wolberg and published by . This book was released on 1948 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few therapies in the history of medicine have enjoyed simultaneously such widespread acclaim and such universal condemnation as has hypnosis. To some extent these opposing attitudes still prevail. However, recent years have witnessed advances in experimental and therapeutic hypnosis which have tended to establish hypnotherapy firmly as a scientific treatment method. The present volume is a contribution to the growing literature on therapeutic hypnosis. It issues out of experimental work with hypnosis in the treatment of various emotional difficulties, and it attempts to delineate the utilities and limitations, as well as advantages and disadvantages, of hypnotherapy. A considerable portion of Volume One is devoted to a step-by-step description of the induction process, illustrating various induction methods by excerpts from transcriptions of actual hypnotic sessions. There is a didactic discussion of the principles of psychotherapy, and of the psychopathologic factors in the different disease syndromes. Therapeutic methods applicable to the existing dynamics and the contributions hypnosis has to make to the treatment plan are also elaborated on in some detail.

The insights, strategies, and tactics in the book are easy to apply yet deliver one heck of a punch.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete Hypnotism Mesmerism, Mind-Reading and Spiritualism How to Hypnotize: Being an Exhaustive and Practical System of Method, Application, and Use by A. Alpheus Hypnosis is a state of human consciousness involving focused attention and reduced peripheral awareness and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion. The term may also refer to an art, skill, or act of inducing hypnosis. Theories explaining what occurs during hypnosis fall into two groups. Altered state theories see hypnosis as an altered state of mind or trance, marked by a level of awareness different from the ordinary conscious state. In contrast, nonstate theories see hypnosis as a form of imaginative role enactment. We have seen that so far the history of hypnotism has given us two manifestations, or methods, that of passes and playing upon the imagination in various ways, used by Mesmer, and that of physical means, such as looking at a bright object, used by Braid. Both of these methods are still in use, and though hundreds of scientific men, including many physicians, have studied the subject for years, no essentially new principle has been discovered, though the details of hypnotic operation have been thoroughly classified and many minor elements of interest have been developed. There is no doubt that hypnotism is a very old subject, though the name was not invented till 1850. In it was wrapped up the "mysteries of Isis" in Egypt thousands of years ago, and probably it was one of the weapons, if not the chief instrument of operation, of the magi mentioned in the Bible and of the "wise men" of Babylon and Egypt. "Laying on of hands" must have been a form of mesmerism, and Greek oracles of Delphi and other places seem to have been delivered by priests or priestesses who went into trances of self-induced hypnotism. It is suspected that the fakirs of India who make trees grow from dry twigs in a few minutes, or transform a rod into a serpent (as Aaron did in Bible history), operate by some form of hypnotism.
