Despite their clinical utility, hypnotic phenomena are vastly underutilized by therapists in their work with patients. Whether this is due to uncertainty about how to use specific techniques constructively or how to elicit particular phenomena, or anxiety about not being able to obtain a desired result, this volume will guide hypnotherapists toward higher levels of clinical expertise. By describing varied hypnotic phenomena and how they can be used as vehicles of intervention, The Phenomenon of Ericksonian Hypnosis takes the therapist beyond these fundamental applications toward a broader, more sophisticated scope of practice. This immensely readable book addresses the selection, eliciting, and therapeutic use of hypnotic phenomena that are natural outgrowths of trance. It offers step-by-step instruction on eliciting age progression, hypnotic dreaming, hypnotic deafness, anesthesia, negative and positive hallucination, hypermnesia, catalepsy, and other hypnotic phenomena. The book includes specific instruction on how to use the phenomena manifested in trance to provide more effective treatment. Numerous case examples vividly illustrate intervention with anxiety disorders, trauma and abuse, dissociative disorders, depression, marital and family problems, sports and creative performance, pain, hypersensitivity to sound, psychotic symptomatology, and other conditions. The Phenomenon of Ericksonian Hypnosis will be used by therapists as a valuable clinical tool to expand their conceptualizations of hypnosis, and thus enable them to offer a wider repertoire of skills with which they can confidently treat clients.

Streaming from the genius of Milton H. Erickson, M. D., solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) is gaining momentum, becoming a most valuable tool for clinicians worldwide. Dr. John Edgette provides a flowing, comprehensive audiotape of the evolution and practice of SFBT.

This strength based, future focused approach enables therapist and client to co-create an anticipation of success. A developing curiosity regarding which solution(s) will unfurl, in just the right way, allows for a most energized and connected therapy.

As the practice of psychotherapy continues to de-emphasize, SFBT enables clients to creatively orchestrate solutions, utilizing their own personal history of learnings and successes with an eye on the positive self-fulfilling prophesies that await.

Not all clients come to us for help with their emotions, thoughts, and relationships. Some clients just want to do what they are doing better. But do therapists know about helping people perform well in a particular situation or achieve a specific goal? Using principles drawn from the outcome-oriented world of sports psychology, this tape will demonstrate how to help clients achieve peak performance, whether it’s giving a big sales presentation, learning to fly, or becoming a better parent. Participants will learn a strategic, solution-focused model that draws on techniques elite athletes use to get out of “slumps” and master demanding challenges.
