Wordweaving: The Science of Suggestion - A Comprehensive Guide to Creating Hypnotic Language

by Trevor Silvester

This text presents a new approach to the use of hypnotic suggestion. For years, hypnotherapists have used scripts which are aimed at a particular problem, like smoking or weight loss, rather than aiming at the client who smokes or has weight issues. Trevor Silvester suggests that it is not the problem that is the problem; it's the client's unique relationship with the problem that's the problem. The book aims to free you from the constraints of scripts and enable you to use your creative skill to weave subtle spells that empower your clients by changing their model of reality. It presents the science behind suggestion, and the means of using that science to create magical ways of influencing others.

A really good book. Although I disagree with the overall thesis (hypnotic language patterns), Sections 1 and 2 form a really elegant overview of psychotherapy -- far clearer than I've encountered elsewhere. Recommended.
