ZEIG, PH.D. Director, The Milton H. Erickson Foundation. The revised~ and considerably enlarged edition of this widely praised text introduces professionals to the nature of hypnosis and its use in therapy. The reader will find in these pages not just an extraordinarily clear and clinically useful guide to hypnosis, but also illuminating insight into the role of hypnotic patterns wherever influential communication occurs. The author describes practical methods for developing communication and relationship skills that will increase the effectiveness of every therapist's practice of psychotherapy. SECTION I provides a solid Conceptual Framework and includes chapters on Myths and Misconceptions about Hypnosis, Conceptualizing Hypnosis, Contexts of Hypnosis, Susceptibility to Hypnosis, the Experience of Trance, and Conditions for Trancework. SECTION II covers a Practical Framework, including Structuring Suggestions, Patterns of Hypnotic Communication, Suggestibility Tests, Naturalistic Trance Inductions, Trance Phenomena and Their Inductions, Therapeutic Utilization of the Trance State, Hypnotic Hazards and Ethical Guidelines. Of special interest are two new chapters offered in the second edition. Chapter 19 presents Hypnotic Trans~Scripts in six cases: pain, weight, stress management, goal orientation, adaptability, and self~definition. Chapter 20 provides the complete transcript of a session with a patient who is coping with terminal cancer. The author's line~by~line commentary serves to enhance and clarify this material. An unusual and stimulating new feature of Trancework is the use of interpolated "Frames of Reference" ~ interviews with leading figures focusing on various aspects of hypnosis and communication. These interviews provide intriguing personal perspectives on individuals whose impact on the field has been profound. Trancework is an essential text for formal trainings in hypnosis whether in academic settings or private workshops. Not only is the full range of theory and clinical practice explored, but exercises and assignments, concepts and terms to master, and topics for discussion follow each chapter. Every therapist who wants to work hypnotically with individuals will benefit from this important contribution.
