Ericksonian Approaches - Second Edition

The Book that Compounds Value your Whole Career in Hypnosis and NLP.

First of all, hats off to Crown House Publishing for printing this book—Ericksonian Approaches: A comprehensive Manual Second Edition by Rubin Battino, MS and Thomas L. South, PHD is a magisterial work. Indeed, one is hard-pressed to find anything of equivalent value. One can even argue that it contains everything that a beginner would need. Assuredly, whatever a hypnosis/NLP Practitioner chooses to put into this book will be rewarded in spades.
The book is organised into twenty-three chapters which are in turn methodically broken down into smaller parts. It opens with the history of hypnosis before moving onto to chapters on basic and advanced metaphor, as well as other chapters on hypnotherapy with special populations, substance abuse and ethical and legal concerns. One especially fascinating chapter, which concerns the psychobiology of gene expression and mind body, warrants special mention. Significantly, this book does not require reading from cover to cover (somewhat exhaustive at 600 pages)—the chapters are self-contained. Furthermore, the logical way the chapters are structured allows for easy consumption, while at the same time the authors champion the reader to take time out from whatever page they are on to go and practice the stuff, with suggested guidelines, like a professional training course would; again I stress, what the reader chooses to put it will pay out in kind.
Another part of this books excellence is the conscientious writing style which unceasingly converts anything seemingly complicated into clear comprehension. This book has been, simply put, designed to help as much as it possibly can. This crowning achievement is best thought of as the life’s work of not one, but two: that is, two lives in continual dialogue, inspiring each other at each and every turn, and succeeding in their shared goal.
