The Art of Hypnotic Regression Therapy: A Clinical Guide - Softcover

As a hypnoanalyst for many years, I can vouch for the fact that this wonderful book contains every bit of information needed to use regression therapy successfully. Scripts, techniques, 'how-to' examples, and case studies, along with a defined structure for the therapy, make this the ideal read for the newcomer as well as the experienced clinician. -- Terence Watts "MCGI, Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine" The authors' concise exposition on HRT offers the novice and experienced practitioner insight, theory, and method. This frequently misunderstood and misrepresented modality is reestablished in an easy read as a valid and meaningful therapeutic intervention. All clinicians using hypnosis are encouraged to read this work. -- Dr. Gabor Filo "DDS, DABHD"

Hypnotic Regression Therapy, or HRT, is a type of hypnotherapy in which, following the induction of a good trance state, specialized suggestions are given to guide the client in reviewing and emotionally reframing earlier experiences that have either caused or contributed to the client's current symptoms. This book provides all the skills, advice and techniques needed to understand and carry out HRT. This book addresses the dangers of mishandled hypnotic regression by presenting an organised, clientcentred approach. You will learn when and how to use HRT effectively to help clients discover and release the causes of their problems and symptoms. The authors emphasize the importance of avoiding inappropriate leading and how to explain the risk of false memories to clients. They also clearly address the controversies about false memories and the handling of the emotional release that usually occurs during hypnotic regressions.
