Review Quotes:
It is refreshing (and rare) to be able to read a clear and detailed account of human anatomy and physiology in relation to the mind/body and hypnosis. If there was any concerns about the efficacy and power of hypnosis in medicine and dentistry, this book provides solid research evidence and theoretical concepts that are grounded in physiology and psychology, leaving little doubt of the potential of hypnosis. There is a wonderful combination and integration of behavioural and cognitive underpinnings and hypnotic techniques, together with the examples that demonstrates the unquestionable use of hypnosis. A recommended read for all who want to help those many people who find they are experiencing chronic and/or acute pain. We all know how miserable that can be!
