This group will hopefully provide an online equivalent of your favorite bookstore, where you can browse to your heart's content and occasionally find a real treasure.

Many of us have already posted opinions and discussions about various books on Hypnothoughts, which would only require a quick cut and paste to transfer here. And if you have written a book yourself, don't be modest -- tell us about it! But these should only be the starting points for what hopefully will become an increasingly valuable source of personal and professional development for us all.

Please note the difference between the Discussion section (where you post the reviews themselves) and the Comment section (where you comment about them). It can get confusing sometimes, because you can also comment in the Discussion section about the postings of others -- and good reading!

Hey Alexandre,

It's a one stop for everything you need. Techniques are so well expained, I used the finger pump technique this morning with a "Pain Client" and she knows she is coming next visit for "minor discomfort." She minimised her own pain this morning.

Hope you have a great day in Brooklyn,

Scott

Yes, yes, yes!  Dan's book is amazing in it's simplicity and practicality. It's so easy to read and utilize that you forget the complexities involved.

I think it's a must read for all practitioners.

“Targeting Pain, Dan Cleary has written a Great Hypnosis Hypnosis Tool for the Therapist

I've recently has the pleasure to read Dan Cleary's new Book: Targeting Pain- A Practitioners Guide to Relief.

  I give it a 10 out of 10 as there are so many benefits to my practice, so many new tools for my tool box, methods I had yet to discover and scripts I'm excited to use with my clients. And this is an easy read that offers something for every type of client that I see in my practice.
 
Within this book are so many methods, so many inductions, new skill's to immediately use with clients and for ourselves as well. I and my son's have already personally benefitted as we read, out loud, segments of the book on two road trips. Combined, I believe my 12 and 8 year old son's have found what we are calling, "Inner tools", to eliminate physical pain and much, much more. From using finger pumps to pump in the magic serum, to discovering delicious resources within us, the secondary gain, for us, has been the fact that my boys can use it as well.

If you haven’t read Dan’s previous books, you need to know his own story, how he found Hypnosis and why. "I was involved in a motorcycle accident on March 28, 1978, resulting in a brachial plexus avulsion. My right arm was paralyzed and from the moment I awoke in the emergency room, I have been experiencing certain "sensory challenges." After the accident I was unable to sleep for days at a time and then I would collapse for a few hours and awaken in tears. I had an enormous supply of drugs- Which didn't make the pain go away. The drugs allowed me to careless about the pain I suppose or perhaps they made me insensible to some of the emotional effects that accompany any chronic condition but that may not be entirely accurate. This cycle continued for about five years before I discovered Hypnosis. Within a week I had eliminated most of the drugs and was sleeping six to eight hours a night HYPNOSIS WORKS, IT SAVED MY LIFE!"
  
To sum up Targeting Pain, Every Trick of the hypnotic trade is in this book, all you have to do is flip open the Index and all of the solutions to an infinite list of issues. All of the solutions are inside.

Hope you have a great day,

Scott Cooper CCHT

Advances in Understanding the Brain - I have recently read what I think is one of the most informative books about the brain which brings to attention the latest advances in neuro-science and its most recent developments.  I have written a full review.http://www.motivationtraining.co.uk/articles/article-AdvancesinUnde...

Never heard of him/her. However, Yapko's book, which is listed as "related" on the same page is definitely worth the read.
Villum Comment by Villum on February 15, 2011 at 7:53am
Oh, btw. You can see the book i'm talking about in google books: Hypnotherapeutic Techniques 2E. There is supposed to be a companion DVD with hypnotic induction demonstrations, but it's not for sale anywhere. I guess you have to be a member of some organization or other in order to buy it.

Have anyone else looked at Arreed Barabasz and John Watkins "Hypnotherapeutic Techniques 2E" from 2005?. I am very much a beginner, but it seems to me to be a sort of mirror image of Essentials of Clinical Hypnosis, in that at it is very much in the "hypnotic state is real"-camp. Now, it seems a very good general book to me, so far. However, i am very much a beginner, so i would like to hear if anyone else has any comments the book.
