Synopsis
This manual for hypnotherapy professionals guides readers through the development of their own induction techniques and the writing of effective suggestion scripts. Calling itself a "neo-Ericksonian approach," HYPNOTHERAPY SCRIPTS provides a clear description of the hypnotic experience and a through understanding of its potential as a therapeutic technique in a clinical setting. The system presented here is unique as it integrates the metaphorical and poetic patterns of verbal communication on an unconscious level in order to effect positive changes efficiently, while developing a doctor-patient relationship where deeper personal meanings may be explored. In addition to the creation of unique induction techniques and metaphors, HYPNOTHERAPY SCRIPTS offers an exclusive explanation of the Diagnostic Trance process. In this process patients are brought into a therapeutic trance wherein they are able to verbalize and recognize their discomfort or problem. This is especially effective with new patients as it encourages them to trust their unconscious mind and maximize the probability of a positive therapeutic outcome.
