Hypnosis book
Article by Christopher Lawson
Books on hypnosis and conversational hypnosis can be found through the various sources of Internet, brick and mortar stores, magazines, as well as in the local library. Generally, it is the application of hypnosis to self-improvement that takes a hypnosis book on the subject onto the best-seller list, for example: ?Powerful Mind Through Self-Hypnosis: A Practical Guide to Complete Self-Mastery? by Cathal O?Briain.
Many of these are excellent overviews from a self-help perspective. However, often these books lack a real discussion of hypnotic technique. To find a valid book on hypnosis from among a plethora of vague new age pronouncements, mere conjecture, or fantasy, the reader must do a bit of research based on their goal in using hypnosis.
Whether the reader?s goal is to use hypnosis to relieve pain, change an unwanted behavior, or simply to learn more about the subject, good and reliable starting points can be found in academic journals dealing with hypnosis, such as the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis (AJCH) and the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. AJCH, for example, provides information online as to where to find reliable and uniformly accepted definitions of terms and basic guides to hypnosis and hypnosis topics, as well as more advanced works. Even if a specific topic such as conversational hypnosis is not represented, these sites can be used to verify the accuracy of definitions and discussions in consulted works.
Assuming the reader wishes to search on their own, or cannot find satisfactory works at the academic sites, the wide variety of books on general and specific topics in hypnosis and conversational hypnosis that can be found through the Internet alone can be reviewed for relevance by checking for key terms. For conversational hypnosis, a review of the literature suggests that any relevant book will discuss the use of basic and subtle persuasion techniques as opposed to outright manipulation and feature descriptions of both the structured Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and the more informal Erickson method. For more general hypnosis study, the reader should certainly seek a book that actually discusses hypnosis and hypnotic techniques rather than applications to self-help with little detail.
A few examples of available books which include basic texts on hypnosis recommended from the AJCH are: Handbook of Hypnotic Suggestions and Metaphors, D.Corydon Hammond, PhD, Editor (1990) and Hypnotic Induction and Suggestion, D. Corydon Hammond, PhD, Editor (1998).
Two popular writers on the subject of conversational hypnosis are Carol Sommer, author of ?Conversational Hypnosis: A Manual of Indirect Suggestion? (1992) and Igor Ledochowski, ?The Deep Trance Training Manual: Hypnotic Skills? (2003). Both are available through such online sites as Amazon. Books on NLP include: Secrets of NLP ? Hypnotherapy ? Hypnotic Psychology ? Street Hypnosis and Stage Hypnotism by Jonathan Royle (2010) and Persuasion Skills Black Book: Practical NLP Language Patterns for Getting The Response You Want by Rintu Basu and Debbie Jenkins (2009). Books on the Erickson method include My Voice Will Go with You: The Teaching Tales of Milton H. Erickson by Sidney Rosen (1991) and Conversational Induction with Utilization of Spontaneous Trance (Ericksonian Approaches to Hypnosis and Psychotherapy, P320-87) by Kay Thompson and The Milton H. Erickson Foundation. (1983)
