"This Handbook presents the cutting edge of research, theory, and practice that underlies why and how clinical hypnosis is crucial to integrative health care. The editors have gathered the research data and broad-ranging experiences from many international experts to bring our understanding of therapeutic communication — the core of clinical hypnosis — into the 21st century and beyond. I consider this the essential compendium of the field."
Andrew Weil MD, Tucson, Arizona
"This monumental book spans not just the domain of hypnosis but the universe of its history, science, practice and art. While valuable early sections share latest ideas and findings on hypnotic theory, measurement and neuroscience, the heart of the Handbook is its chapters on clinical uses of hypnosis. Leading practitioners working in a range of health care settings offer valuable advice and fresh insights for those already familiar with hypnosis and those new to our field. The Handbook captures and harnesses the power and potential of one of the world’s oldest and most storied therapeutic interventions."
Professor Amanda J. Barnier, PhD, Professor of Cognitive Science and Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research Performance and Development), Macquarie University; Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia; Fellow of the Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis
"This book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and techniques of hypnosis, along with practical guidance on its use in different medical settings. The authors give clear and concise explanations of complex concepts based on their wealth of experience in the field and extensive references to the literature. It is an invaluable resource for any medical practitioner looking to expand their knowledge and incorporate hypnosis into their practice."
Csaba Dioszeghy MD PhD, Hon. Assoc. Prof., Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, UK
"Encyclopedic in breadth and depth, with a focus on SELF-regulation grounded in evidence-based neuroscience, this 63-chapter handbook frames clinical hypnosis as an integrative healing practice for young and old alike."
Richard E. Kreipe, MD, FAAP, FSAHM, FAED, Professor Emeritus, Golisano Children’s Hospital, University of Rochester Medical Center, USA
"The International Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis is a treasure trove for finding everything you always wanted to learn about hypnosis and, even more importantly, about what you didn’t think of yet and would benefit from knowing in the rapidly changing, digitally-driven world. The international perspective and variety of the contributors’ backgrounds avoid any one school of thought and provide a rich and diverse range of viewpoints for novices and practitioners of hypnosis alike. It is an instructive and greatly enjoyable read for anyone interested in hypnosis and promises to become the definitive reference on the topic."
Elvira V. Lang, MD, FSIR, FSCEH, Founder & President of Comfort Talk®
"This handbook does a wonderful job of synthesizing and pushing forward the vibrant field of hypnosis research. It draws together an impressive cast of world experts at the forefront of both the science and practice of hypnosis. The diversity and nuance of these perspectives is testament to the remarkable development of this field in recent years. This volume will be of great interest to anyone who seeks to appreciate the cutting edge of scientific research on hypnosis—one of the oldest and most powerful of the healing arts."
Michael Lifshitz, PhD, Assistant Professor of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry, McGill University
"Linden and her coeditors of The Routledge International Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis have produced an indispensable volume not only for practitioners but also for those who want to follow recent developments in this field. This volume covers definitions, history, neurology, phenomenology, research, significant personages (such as Barber and Erickson), theories, and unscrupulous exploitation. Especially provocative are the discussions of hypnotic treatment for traumatized young people, the ecology of hypnosis, and the role of accessing and utilizing one’s unconscious potentials... First and foremost are the chapters by an international team of writers from a variety of perspectives who provide detailed accounts of hypnotically facilitated psychotherapy and medicine, and why hypnosis needs to be an essential part of health care in the 21st century, a vision that this marvelous compendium will help to incarnate."
S. Krippner, California Institute of Integral Studies
