This unique and comprehensive guide will become the bible of all clinical hypnotherapists For the first time this book brings together all the threads of excellent clinical practice in hypnotherapy. Written and presented in a concise and readable format it offers a one-stop authoritative guide to the key classification and diagnosis systems, DSM IV and ICD-10, that are recognised and endorsed by clinicians from around the world. Handbook of Hypnotic Interventions is an ideal single-volume reference resource for the experienced practitioner or student wishing for an up-to-date survey of hypnotherapy in the 21st Century. Dr Pyne addresses each of DSM IV's main groups of psychological disorder in turn, discussing the symptoms, differential diagnosis, possible causes, contributing factors and suggested modes of treatment appropriate to each case. In many cases, scripts have been provided to assist in the delivery of the appropriate therapy, and detailed explanations of a variety of hypnotic inductions are given. Examples of the conditions included are anxiety, mood, sexual, gender related and substance abuse disorders.

In this post-9/11 world, therapists need to expand their toolboxes to deal with trauma and its effects. This book provides a new way of dealing with the devastating emotional residue of a traumatic event. It centers on the innovative application of hypnotherapy to help trauma victims "self-actualize," regain their lives, and move forward again. This book outlines the effects of trauma on mind and body and provides comprehensive systems and treatment plans for the mental disorders caused or exacerbated by trauma. Many people are familiar with the famous "fight" or "flight" responses to trauma, but few now about the "freeze" response. "Freeze" is the most dangerous of the trio since it inhibits any reaction and leaves he victim immobile. It can lead directly to Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Also included is a brief survey of brain research and its implications. Dr. Warren takes readers on a brief journey of self-discovery to unlock their full self-potential and raise it to a new level.
