In this revised second edition of a seminal work on hypnosis, Dr. William S. Kroger delves into the practical applications of hypnotherapy across various fields, including medicine, dentistry, and psychology. This comprehensive guide not only outlines effective hypnotherapy techniques but also highlights their relevance in treating a variety of conditions, from anxiety and phobias to pain management and surgical procedures. The inclusion of an introduction by Dr. Michael Yapko, a leading expert in short-term psychotherapy, places Dr. Kroger's foundational concepts in a modern framework, making it easier for readers to grasp contemporary applications of clinical hypnosis. This edition is enhanced with a DVD featuring two compelling demonstrations of hypnosis used as anesthesia during surgical procedures—one for childbirth and another for thyroid surgery—complete with insightful commentary from Dr. Yapko. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of hypnosis as a vital tool in health care, learn about the ethical considerations of hypnotherapy, and explore techniques that can lead to successful patient outcomes. Whether you are a student or a practicing professional, this book is an invaluable resource for integrating hypnotherapy into your practice.
