Solution-Oriented Hypnosis: An Ericksonian Approach 1st (first) by Bill O'Hanlon, Michael Martin (1992) Paperback

by Bill O'Hanlon

When most people think of "hypnosis" they imagine either a sinister, Mesmeresque figure declaring to his subject "you're getting sleepier and sleepier ... your eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, you vill go into trance," or an entertainer compelling a subject to "cluck like a chicken." In this comprehensive introduction to hypnosis based on the pioneering work of Milton H. Erickson, Bill O'Hanlon demystifies the concept of "trance" and "hypnosis." He goes to the heart of the subject by answering the "What is trance?" But be This is no dry, formal discourse on trance induction techniques. Rather, readers are invited to share the experience of attending one of O'Hanlon's lively and popular two-day workshops on Ericksonian hypnosis. In an energetic and often humorous manner, O'Hanlon takes his audience through the basics of trance induction and explains the how, what, and why of hypnosis. Readers familiar with Erickson's work will be delighted at the author's Class of Problems/Class of Solutions approach, which deconstructs Ericksonian interventions and provides a powerful new tool in directing clients toward solution. Each individual element of trance induction is explained clearly, through the use of case examples, demonstrations, and audience participation exercises. The book's gradual approach takes readers through the hypnotic process in a step-by-step fashion, increasing their skills and confidence.

I really enjoy Bill O'Hanlon both personally and professionally. This is a transcription of a few day workshop. I felt like I was right there with him and I enjoyed it tremendously. I also may (or may not!) have gone into trance a few times since I could hear his voice in my head teaching. I wish I was there in person!

Great book. Took it in slow so I could try it out on my clients as I learned the methods. Took O'Hanlon's class concurrently, as well. This is a completely different approach than traditional hypnosis and I am motivated to get really good at it. Wish me luck!

催眠が一方的なプロセスでないことはわかった。
