This is a must for any serious hypnotherapist.

An excellent primer on the foundations of clinical hypnosis with many useful scripts to tweak and make your own. Highly recommended for any therapist using clinical hypnosis in her work.

I liked it, I didn't love it. I am not a script user and I very much doubt Dr Erickson was either. I don't believe every indirect trance experience is Ericksonian by default so I object to that aspect of it's title. Erickson's stuff is much more complex than that. Still if you need ideas for scripts, here are some. Unfortunately it didn't help with the scripts I am creating for my thesis.

This book is somewhat helpful in regards to theory and practice. But as the title suggests, it's mostly just a set of hypnosis scripts. These can be helpful to someone studying Ericksonian hypnosis, but I'd seek out more than just this text to study Ericksonian.

I have used this book on a daily basis throughout my 21 year career in hypnosis. The scripts are clever and effective.
