Donald Robertson goes back to basics and describes the development of hypnosis and cognitive-behavioural therapy. This book provides an excellent introduction to the theory, research and practice of cognitive-behavioural hypnotherapy. --Professor Stephen Palmer, Founder Director Robertson's approach is well structured but flexible and he demonstrates a firm grasp of his subject matter, which is considerable in scope. In particular, I believe he will convince readers who are already cognitive-behavioural therapists that learning how to include hypnosis in their repertoire of skills will pay them and their clients significant dividends. And those hypnotherapists wishing to incorporate CBT into their practice will be amply rewarded. With The Practice of Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapy the author has demonstrated the exacting standards by which all books on therapeutic hypnosis should be judged. I commend it to the reader. --Dr Michael Heap, author (with H. B. Gibson) of Hypnosis in Therapy, and (with K. K. Aravind) of Hartland's Medical and Dental Hypnosis
