Now in it's fourth edition, this classic text presents a comprehensive overview of client-centred hypnosis based on the teachings of Charles Tebbetts. Since the person undergoing hypnosis is the one with the power to change him/herself, the hypnotherapist acts as the facilitator, tailoring the hypnosis session to the client. All of the techniques found in The Art of Hypnotherapy, including regression therapy and parts theory, centre on this concept. The Art of Hypnotherapy shows students how all hypnotic techniques revolve around four main therapeutic objectives: Suggestion and Imagery; Discover the Cause; Release; and Subconscious Relearning. New features in this edition include an arrangement of techniques from simple to complex, so that those using hypnosis in a limited way easily learn the applicable technique; a chapter on the common application of hypnotherapy now includes new sections on anger, impotence, stuttering, and tinnitus, and the chapters on anchoring and triggers have been updated, with sections on how to help a client establish a safe place, and why this is important.

Crown House is pleased to announce the publication of the third edition of The Art of Hypnosis: Mastering Basic Techniques by Roy Hunter. This updated third edition includes a new introduction by Conrad Adams PhD together with a revised Chapter 1. Roy Hunter is an expert in the field of hypnosis. He was specially selected to carry on the work of the 'Grand Master of Hypnotherapy', the late Charles Tebbetts, who was a master teacher and contributor to the art/science of hypnosis and hypnotherapy. This book is based upon the training course of Tebbetts, which has been updated by Roy Hunter. Tebbetts' training has formed the basis of a large number of hypnotherapy courses taught in America and Europe. The Art of Hypnosis is well-written and easy to read and understand, even for the novice. In-depth and practical information is given on how to achieve maximum results in a hypnotic session by phrasing suggestions properly and by using various techniques to determine which approach is best for each individual client.

Some books tell you what to change. This one tells you how! Master the powers of the mind, open the gateways to your subconscious, and seize control of your life.

With this self-hypnosis handbook, you'll learn innovative empowerment exercises that teach relaxation, stress management, overcoming insomnia, and establishing priorities. Avoid the "failure trap" by clearing psychic obstacles. "Creatively" daydream to stop smoking, lose weight, and improve job performance, memory, study habits, and more. Add on the proper use of affirmations, and fine-tune the ability of language to heal or harm. Find out the four important trance ingredients (imagination, belief, expectancy, and conviction) and use the practical tips on how to build them up and employ them in your journey into self-hypnosis. 144 pages, 7 x 10.

Not intended as a "cookbook" of suggestions for routine replication, this handbook provides examples of hypnotic suggestions and metaphors from some 100 hypnotherapists of diverse approaches and styles, to be individualized by the therapist who uses hypnosis according to the unique personalities, expectations, motivations, and problems of their patients.

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. HRT is considered one of the most valuable hypnotherapy techniques available today, yet it remains controversial, partly due to inadequate training of psychotherapists and hypnotherapists which has contributed to numerous cases of false memory syndrome.
