About the Book

In his own voice, Dr Yapko clearly and dynamically introduces listeners to a broad range of hypnotic methods and techniques that will greatly enhance the effectiveness of all modes of therapy. This 8-CD abridged version, based on the text of the popular third edition of Trancework, specifically addresses the growing emphasis within psychotherapy on proving efficacy through empirical data and the creative use of hypnosis to enhance treatment outcomes, and the advances on cognitive neuroscience that are stimulating new research. For newcomers, Trancework is an authoritative primer, demystifying hypnosis and offering step-by-step instruction for integrating it skillfully into clinical practice. Those already familiar with hypnotic procedures will welcome Dr Yapko’s presentation of influential theories, controversies, treatment approaches, and rich case material. All listeners are guided through personal and professional enrichment as they discover the art and science of clinical hypnosis as presented in this essential audio program.

Reviews

'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.' - George W. Burns, clinical psychologist, Author, 101 Healing Stories and Standing Without Shoes
