"This book should be read by anyone working and interacting with patients. It provides an excellent background and understanding of hypnosis, not only a therapeutic intervention but a window to better medical care." Fabrizio Benedetti, MD, University of Turin Medical School
"Changing Minds with Clinical Hypnosis is a mind changer! Innovative, creative and profoundly thought-provoking. This beautifully written book delves deep, dissolving myths about hypnosis to elucidate how change happens, integrating neurobiological evidence with current knowledge of the therapeutic process. I couldnt put it down! The authors, through cogent arguments, creatively engaged conversations and story, convincingly present 21st century hypnosis as an embodied mind-changing therapy. Enjoy how it changes your mind on the critical principles of hypnosis as therapy." Leora Kuttner, PhD, Clinical Professor, BC Children's Hospital & University of British Columbia
This is a numinous book. Changing Minds with Clinical Hypnosis aligns gratifyingly with what Ernest learned at the feet of Milton H. Erickson, MD. Among the many alternate understandings of Ericksons work, this book builds solidly on the scientific foundations and furthers the practical clinical approaches within his worldview. Sugarman, Linden, and Brooks have done excellent work combining the science and storytelling that are the essence of therapeutic hypnosis. This book will change your mind. Ernest Lawrence Rossi, PhD and Kathryn Lane Rossi, PhD, PsychoSocial Genomics Research Institute, authors of Creating New Consciousness in Everyday Life: The Psycho-Social Genomics of Self Creation, The Psychobiology of Gene Expression, A Discourse with Our Genes, and many others.
"This powerful book embraces the nexus of health care and freedom of mind.
