Transforming Lives with Hypnosystemic Therapy

This book provides a practise-based introductory guide for practitioners wishing to integrate hypnosystemic therapy into their services, examining its roots, principles, and methods. Hypnosystemic therapy combines aspects of Ericksonian hypnosis, Systemic Therapy, and parts/constellation therapy into a creative awake hypnotherapy approach. This is then further consolidated in therapy or counselling. It is applied for overcoming psychological, medical, and social problems by use of conversational hypnosis mostly without trance induction. This text discusses how the intervention can be used in a variety of group and individual settings, in the treatment of diagnoses such as ADD/ADHD, allergies, hypertension, anxiety, phobias, sleeping disorders, addiction and eating disorders, and autism spectrum disorders. Chapters provide therapeutic tools in a straightforward, practical manner with examples. Presenting therapeutic interventions in such a clear way that they can be integrated instantly into the therapeutic work of any school, this book is of particular interest to systemic therapists, behavioral therapists, and others who wish to integrate hypnotherapy knowledge into their work, but remains relevant to any mental health or allied professional.
