Summary

In 1992, Brunner/Mazel published the first book ever written on the subject of applying hypnosis in the treatment of depressed individuals.Hypnosis and the Treatment of Depressions, by Michael Yapko, not only withstood the test of colleagues previously dismissive of hypnotherapy's value as a tool of treatment, but thrived in the face of it. The ideas and methods of the book overcome a previously skeptical audience and are now frequently taught at workshops and conferences by professional societies. In 2001, Yapko published a second book on the subject with Brunner-Routledge,Treating Depression with Hypnosis, which was later awarded the prestigious Arthur Shapiro Award from the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis and named "the best book of the year on clinical hypnosis." Now, Yapko proposes a book intended to diversify the range of topics to consider and increase the number of knowledgeable contributors on the subject of treating depression with hypnosis. The book willfeature chapter contributions by experts on using hypnosis to treat specific forms of depression, with assessment and intervention strategies as well as sample transcripts of the use of hypnosis in therapy sessions. As a practical guidebook for clinicians looking to add to their treatment protocols,Hypnosis and Treating Depression: Advances in Clinical Sciencewill provide an updated and comprehensive volume on therapeutic use of hypnosis in the treatment of depression.
