Reviews
This new edition expands on the second edition's reputation as the gold standard in the field....The authors combine scholarly thoroughness and clinical compassion to produce a work that is as readable as it is useful. --Michael Nash, Ph.D., ABPP, Associate Professor, Fellow The new edition of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy with Children by Karen Olness and Daniel Kohen is an important addition to the library of clinicians dealing with children and adolescents. The idea of using hypnotherapy in the management of diverse problems such as pain management, persistent cough, gastrointestinal symptoms, etc. opens new paths of treatment for the holistic physician. Giving the child and adolescent a degree of mastery over their body with its symptoms allows for a collaborative participation in treatment between the physician and the young patient. It is this union that often improves health and/or diminishes problem symptoms. The new edition of their book is informative, exciting in concept and thorough and current in scope. These two behavioral pediatricians are clearing a dynamic new pathway through the previously unexplored forest of psychology within which very likely lies new treasures of helpful therapeutic advances. I use hypnotherapy in my consultation practice of behavioral and developmental pediatrics and have found it of considerable help with many children and adolescents with varying complaints, most particularly pain and anxiety/panic symptoms. Drs. Olness and Kohen are among the leaders in this field and offer us an important textbook source for knowledge and practice in their field of discovery. --Murray M. Kappelman, MD, Professor, Pediatrics and Psychiatry, Director, Division of Behavioral and Developmental Pediatrics, University of Maryland School of Medicine This book is an essential component in the library of either the pediatrician or the child psychiatrist.

In this new edition, Drs. Olness and Kohen offer an elegant and comprehensive guide to the uses of hypnotherapy with children. --W. Thomas Boyce, MD, Division of Behavioral & Developmental Pediatrics, University of California at San Francisco <br> Since its first edition in 1981, Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy with Children has been the first, the most comprehensive and the most widely used text for practitioners of hypnotherapy with children. Now in its third edition, Drs. Olness and Kohen have written a book that is both an excellent text for reference on using hypnotherapy with pediatric problems and an inspiring guide on how to be inventive, using this age-old art to bring about needed change. Written with warmth, humor, and a presiding appreciation of the imaginative world and playful work of children, this book is rich in clinical vignettes and the language to use to promote children's recovery and well-being. For clinicians working with children its emphasis on mind-body techniques will be very helpful in developing therapeutic methods for the 21st Century.
