From the front flap of this 367 page book: "Spanning a period of 50 years, these four volumes have been assembled for clinicians and researchers who wish to explore the work of one of the most seminal minds in the history of hypnosis and psychotherapy. Volume II describes subjects trained for deep trance phenomena so that they could undergo the requisite neuro- and pyschophysiological changes. Papers are grouped in five areas: Visual, Auditory, Psychophysiological Processes, Time Distortion and Research Problems."

Excellent service, neatly packaged, arrived when they said it would. I would buy from this vendor again. I have always had positive transactions from Amazon vendors.

Essential, November 30, -0001

This entire four book set is fantastic. If only choosing one to purchase, I would choose volume one, or volume four. This set provides great insight into Erickson's approach to hypnosis.

Insights for the Serious Hypnotist, November 30, -0001
By Kindle Customer
|

Let me get this out of the way: scientific papers do not make the most exciting reading. The limitations of the form require that all possible traces of the personality of the author be extinguished under the weight of the formal verbosity of the paper itself. That said, the subject matter--that of altering the normal perceptual processes of people in trance--is a fascinating one, and the reader is often rewarded with the pure gold of insights into the hypnotic process as Erickson saw it.
Erickson was entirely in opposition to the old school authoritarian, directive approach that held that hypnosis is in some way created by the hypnotist, and any results depend on the person in trance being rendered hyper-suggestible by the process. He saw hypnosis as a relationship and a learning process, and he was far more successful with that approach in creating lasting change for his patients than his colleagues who were still stuck in the authoritarian modes of the past.
So while this volume is not exactly beach reading, anyone looking for more about how hypnosis works, from the mind of the 20th century's greatest hypnotist, should add this volume to their required reading list.
