Description

Meta-analyses have shown that hypnosis increases the effectiveness of psychotherapy substantially. This book provides clinicians with methods for using hypnosis to enhance the outcome of empirically validated treatments. Clinical hypnosis and cognitive-behavioural therapies have much in common. Hypnotic procedures inspired some of the first behavioural therapies, and the effectiveness of both have been demonstrated empirically. Nevertheless, most guides to clinical hypnosis are based on psychodynamic or Ericksonian perspectives. This book conversely contains chapters by prominent cognitive-behavioural scholars in the field of hypnosis, as well as a chapter by Arnold Lazarus, a founder of behavioural and cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy. The chapters on suggestibility modification present the full text of the Carleton Skill Training Programme, a researched procedure for enhancing responsiveness to suggestion. The book also offers an introduction to Salvador Amigo's self-regulation therapy, which is based on a suggestibility modification programme. Readers who wish to expand their hypnosis skills should find this a useful source of information.
