Synopsis

This outstanding manual on Ericksonian hypnotherapy has been thoroughly revised and updated. There are two new chapters - one on Metaphor Therapy and Guided Metaphor and the other on Ernest Rossi s work on the psychobiology of gene expression. The latter chapter also contains a section on the brain and hypnosis. Thomas South has extended his chapter on utilization with another section on pain control and the chapter on ethics and the law has also been significantly updated. Finally there is a new foreword by Roxanna Erickson Klein and Betty Alice Erickson. This work is the stately tree, supporting individuality, cooperation and diversity. It is filled with common-sense and uncommon sense, with atmosphere and sunshine, with metaphors for more individual growth, with practice exercises for the present and with thoughts for the future. It gives us all lessons in becoming better therapists, better people, and better members of our world. Roxanna Erickson Klein and Betty Alice Erickson from the new foreword
