Book or books to help you understand Hypnosis

Post by Glenn Briggs » Mon Aug 06, 2007 6:39 am

Hi All

JUst wondered what books any or even all of you would recommend for either first timers, or even seasoned Hypnotists as an interesting read as against those books simply listing various induction methods.

AS a person practicing since 1995, one of my personal favourites, is a book by Dr Steven Heller, sadly no longer with us. The book is called Monsters and Magical sticks, there's no such thing as hypnosis.

I read this book on my way to facilitating over 200 people  over a three week period a few years ago, it was a wonderful read, very funny, deliriously informative and of great practical use, both over that programme and ever since.

What book has inspired you and been immediately useful - and why??

My favorite book is "The Couple who became each Other" by David L. Calof.  Its a wonderful book, about a hypnotherapist who was trying to help a couple through marriage difficulties and the title says it all.

Any Ericksonian books would be excellent reading. He was a master of linguistics and forefather of NLP.
