The use of language lies at the core of most hypnotic interventions. Milton H. Erickson developed complex language patterns that now form a major part of most therapists' work. In this remarkable book, the authors build on Erickson's approach, and develop it considerably further. This is amply demonstrated by means of scripts and case studies ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the techniques involved.

In this new volume, the author provides more depth and also elaborates on the concepts that comprise hypnotic language. The core idea presented is that a person's level of cognitive awareness significantly determines his functioning ability in life. In Hypnotic language, Burton shows therapists how to expand the client's cognitive awareness, specifically, the cognitive and perceptual processes involved in meaning making. In doing so, the therapist is more able to identify the specific awareness limitations of the client and identify the specific cognitive perceptual ingredients that make up the client's problem. Drawing on this insight, the hypnotherapist can then construct hypnotic language patterns that go right to the client's issues, invoking positive change. Numerous case examples are presented that include client assessments and dynamics, selecting and constructing hypnotic language patterns and applying the language patterns in therapy.

Nuneaton Memories is sure to fascinate anyone who has grown up or lived in Nuneaton over the past fifty years. It shows the enormous changes that have taken place in the town since the Second World War, as it adapted to the needs of increasing car ownership and changes in social and economic conditions. The photographs come from the huge collection taken by Reg Bull and deposited at the Warwickshire County Record Office after his death in 1999. Reg Bull came from a local family; in fact his grandfather founded the Nuneaton Chronicle in 1868. Reg worked for the Coal Board but from 1950 his passion was photography.He collected local pictures from other sources, and took thousands of his own. John Burton is well known for his books and slide shows. In this, his fifth book, he has selected over 230 pictures from the Reg Bull Collection, and arranged them to show the changing face of post-war Nuneaton. He provides a commentary and interpretation of the photographs to accompany the changes recorded through the lens of Reg Bull.

Islamic law never achieved unity but developed into five surviving schools, which, when first established, were in competition with one another. This scholarly book is the first to examine critically the differing Islamic theories of abrogation (or Naskh) upon which each school based its claim to be the correct interpretation.
