Reviews
[Yapko] has captured and made explicit in this volume many of the details and fine points of how effective therapy can occur when hypnosis is used as a core component of the intervention. In this way, the author achieves one of his central goals: to convey the 'artistry' of hypnosis to the reader. <br>-From the foreword by Steven J. Lynn, Ph.D., Binghamton University <br> Clinicians, students, and researchers in hypnosis will undoubtedly find this the best single book they can read on the topic of hypnosis. <br>-Stephen R. Lankton, MSW, DAHB, Founding Editor, Ericksonian Monographs, Co-author, The Answer Within and Tales of Enchantment <br> I recommend Trancework wholeheartedly to all who are interested professionally in hypnosis. It is a thought-provoking and very practical text that will stimulate its readers as it engages them. <br>-Professor Peter W. Sheehan, AO, Vice-Chancellor, Australian Catholic University, Co-author, Hypnosis and Experience, and Hypnosis, Memory, and Behavior in Criminal Investigation <br> Yapko finds the balance in Trancework. The mix of theory and practice is right: section one helps readers understand contemporary concepts and findings, with enough links to practical matters to keep readers grounded; section two helps readers apply specific hypnotic techniques in the context of therapy, with appropriate references to theoretical issues in hypnosis and beyond. The mix of simplicity and sophistication is right: readers new to hypnosis will be engaged by the clarity of exposition; those experienced in hypnosis will be impressed by the depth of knowledge that is conveyed. Trancework will be a major resource for those with therapeutic knowledge andskills who wish to integrate evidence-based proficiency in hypnosis into their interactions with clients. <br>-Kevin M. McConkey, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, University of New South Wales, Co-author, Hypnosis, Memory, and Behavior in Criminal Investigation <br> Yapko has made the best text on hypnosis even better. His commitment to sound science, clarity of reason and pragmatic applications is communicated with a passion in this new edition of Trancework. The freshness of information and skills, built on the wisdom of former editions, make this a state-of-the-art book for every therapist who wants to be (and shouldn't we all be?) a state-of-the-art practitioner. <br>-George W. Burns, B.A. (Hons.), clinical psychologist, Author, 101 Healing Stories and Standing Without Shoes <br>
