Reseña del editor:

When is hypnosis brought in to play with various theoretical and clinical approaches to psychotherapy? What does a hypnotherapist actually do on a case-by-case and a session-by-session basis? What specific strategies can be implemented? What are the scope and nature of the challenges that hypnotherapists and their clients face? What interpersonal issues emerge in hypnotherapeutic treatment? The editors of the "Casebook of Clinical Hypnosis" have marshalled an impressive array of eminent hypnotherapists to consider these issues and to illustrate them with interesting and memorable cases from their own experience. Each chapter is devoted to the explication of clinical techniques and strategies, and many chapters contain transcripts of actual sessions and suggestions administered, thus providing readers with a window onto the world of clinicians' best hypnotherapeutic work with their clients. Most chapters follow a consistent organisational scheme, in which therapists offer the presenting background and assessment information of a client, the treatment rationale, the role of hypnosis within the treatment, outcome and follow-up data, and concluding commentary. Such client problems as eating disorders, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, enuresis, dissociative identity disorder, dysmenorrhea, nicotine dependence, attentional deficit disorder, and the aftereffects of sexual abuse and rape are addressed. A "case conference" offers the reader an opportunity to understand how therapists from different theoretical approaches - psychoanalytic, multimodal, rational emotive, and Ericksonian, for example - might treat the same client.
