About this ebook

Designed as a practical desktop reference, this official publication of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis is the largest collection of hypnotic suggestions and metaphors ever compiled. It provides a look at what experienced clinicians actually say to their patients during hypnotic work. A book to be savored and referred to time and again, this handbook will become a dog-eared resource for the clinician using hypnosis.

Ratings and reviews

I have been a hypnotherapist for 10 years and I have a large library of books on hypnosis. I would class this book as the most essential for anyone with an interest in hypnosis or hypnotherapy. The price of this book is worth every penny. Stuart Mallinson British Hypnosis Research Practitioner British Hypnosis Research Master Practitioner

If you are learning all about hypnosis and hypnotherapy with a view to becoming a hypnotherapist this book is a superb reference book to have. It is quite an expensive book but in my opinion well worth the investment. As a professional hypnotherapist its good to have this book to read from time to time for some hypnotherapy suggestion tips.
