Psychoanalysis and Hypnosis

by Erika Fromm, Michael R. Nash

Specialists in hypnosis review the history of the uneasy relationship between hypnosis and psychoanalysis, apply modern theories from ego-psychology and hypnosis research, and provide examples of applications in therapy. They write in response to renewed interest in the unconscious, the need for a clearer understanding of suggestion to address the controversy over repressed and recovered memories, and the pressure from non- professional managers for faster and cheaper treatments.
