In total this volume will provide the hypnotherapist with practical suggestions for both the content and context of hypnotic interventions. Furthermore, the rationale for using any one particular script is fully explained through a detailed and illuminating commentary. All practitioners will find the scripts more than just practical as these have been used and found to be valid in real life situations and therefore can be used as they are written or adapted for the client s specific needs.
