Coauthors of Irresistible Communication: Creative Skills for the
Health Professional, Modern Clinical Hypnosis for Habit Control,
and The Courage to Recover, both are popular with the media and
have appeared on numerous local and national television shows.
Vivid case studies illustrate clinical techniques and make this
most inviting reading. --J. Solis, Ph.D., Acapulco
King and Citrenbaum may well be the Siskel and Ebert of the
traditional pathology centered approach...Critical and
controversial! However, King and Citrenbaum may just be right!
--Cardwell C. Nuckols, Ph.D.
Once again, the team of Citrenbaum and King has made an invaluable
contribution to the professional literature in hypnotherapy, adding
to their earlier works Irresistible Communication; 20 Modern
Clinical Hypnosis for Habit Control. Their knowledge of the subject
is immense, bolstered by many years of experience as psychologists
who utilize hypnotherapy in their practices. The writing style is
crisp, and the book is filled with illustrative case vignettes.
They have managed to meld the topics of existentialism and hypnosis
into a highly readable and interesting treatise, which should
appeal to both students and practitioners of modern psychological
hypnosis. --Lewis B. Morgan, Ph.D., Professor of Counseling and
Human Relations, Villanova University
The existential framework of King and Citrenbaum's latest book
illuminates their dynamic approach to clinical hypnosis. This
cogent elucidation of Milton Erickson's pioneering work, rich with
case examples, will be welcomed by their hundreds of satisfied
workshop participants. I was particularly impressed with their
provocative critique of addictions theory which questions some of
the basic 'truths' and points the clinician toward new treatment
strategies. --William M. Cohen, M.D., Acting Director, Child
Development Unit, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, University of
Pittsburgh School of Medicine
As the Ericksonian field matures, it naturally encounters its
ancestors. In this book, the world of hypnotherapy meets that of
existentialism, emerging with a therapy that challenges long held
assumptions while celebrating and deepening the power of personal
choice. --Hillel Zeitlin, LCSW-C, Director, Maryland Institute for
Ericksonian Hypnosis and Psychotherapy
- A practical guide to hypnotic techniques....Psychotherapists in
training should find the book interesting and instructive.
