Experiencing Hypnosis: Therapeutic Approaches to Altered States

The material touches ultimately on the nature of human consciousness and suggests a variety of open-ended approaches to facilitate its exploration in hypnotherapy as well as in more formal research situations. This book focuses on the practical question of how to induce therapeutic trance and how to evoke the patient's repertory of life experiences and involuntary response systems that are utilised in hypnotherapy. It also addresses our current understanding of the subjective experience of clinical trance and altered states.
