User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars As good as any training.
I have read the book, twice, and keep going back to read again. It covers Ellmann, Estabrooks,and Ericksonian styles of hypnosis thoroughly. This is possibly the only book you will ever need regarding hypnosis.
5 Stars INTERESTING
I wouldn’t say that this is a stunningly different book to have - but it does act as a summary for many other books. It’s easy to read and has a lot fo goodlittle tips on it but nothing is like the real practice…
4 Stars Hypnosis
The book arrived in new condition. It took a rather long time to arrive to my home but I was very please once I received the book.
3 Stars It’s a quick easy read
It’s a quick easy read however I’d echo the sentiments of some reviewers who don’t like the New Age references implied here. Tad James has gone on to do a lot of Huna stuff since, something that I’ve looked at several times and keep backing away from. It’s too new agey and wishy washy for me :-).
I gave it 3 stars because what good stuff there is, is fairly well written and useful. It’s a shame there isn’t more depth on Estabrooks and Elman however. I read it in about an hour or so.
My preference if I had to give someone 10 books only on hypnosis, would be Monsters and Magical Sticks, Training Trances, Ledochowski’s Deep Trance Training Manual, Ericksonian Approaches and Tranceformations, Elman’s Hypnotherapy, Bill O’Hanlon-Solution Oriented Hypnosis, Therapeutic Trances by Gilligan and of course Erickson’s own material–not necessarily in that order either.
Then again I am biased as I really enjoyed the books I’ve mentioned. All the mentioned books go into greater depth in their particular areas (ok, they overlap…a lot) and as far as I can tell none of them head into New Age land either.
5 Stars I agree with the other reviewer with a little of my own opinion…
I bought this book a day before I wrote this review at the Conscious Life Expo, and in one reading, I can tell that this is a great book I will consult over and over again because of its wonderful nuances and writing clarity on the subject. Of course, I agree with the other reviewer that this is far superior to Estabrooks’ singular “you are getting sleepy… Sleeepy…” Svengali style basicness with it. But then Estabrooks’ was the 1950s, Tad James is a great 1990s, 21st century update. And the advice on Ericksonian hypnosis is practical, economical and without fluff… Just giving you specifics and whys’ instead of puffery and “this is hard” thinking about semantics and all that kind of thing. In short, that’s why its got the five stars.
