4 Stars Good Introduction
Whilst only half way through the book, participating in the accompanied exercises, I find this book easy to read and comprehend. The authors provide an extensive background introduction and history to the origins of Hypnosis. I’d recommend this as a starting place if you’re interested in learning more about the area. I’ve not extensively explored the CD that accompanies this book, but will likely turn to it next. Repetition of excercises is required (I believe this was suggested in another review) in an effort to get the most out of them. Overall an easy to read and thorough introduction - a good starting point.
5 Stars Interesting reading—and it worked!!
I found this book and CD combination to be very informative. I learned a great deal about hypnosis, its background, and theories. There were many inspiring case reports that showed how hypnosis helps. I found them fascinating. But what I really liked is that by reading the book and listening to the CD, I gained a real skill with hypnosis. Self-hypnosis helped me in many ways. The method presented gave me concrete tools to make some changes, and it seems to be sticking! I liked that the exercises were doable and felt natural. I also found the explanations clear. Also, I didn’t have to read the book cover to cover to start seeing changes. I could skip to sections that seemed most relevant for me. Over time, I have actually read the whole book and I enjoyed doing so. This book and CD has everything you need to personalize your self-hypnosis experience and get results. I highly recommend this book and CD.
2 Stars ok,…..but,…..not really impressed,…
Hi,…Maybe its me,..but I was not as happy with this as I thought that I’d be,…I will keep trying to listen to the CD,…& read the book,…though,.just in case,.I haven’t given it as fair of a review
as I should have,…,…LH
4 Stars refreshing change
Just want to point out something I discovered when I bought this book (”Effective Self Hypnosis”) and “self-hypnosis plain and simple” (same authors): These two books are nearly identical! The text is pretty much the same (I sampled several pages from various chapters, couldn’t find a single difference), although the layout of some of the chapters is a little different. The main differences between the two:
-titles
-this book is hardcover, ‘plain and simple’ is paperback
-this book has photos (historical ones, iirc), the other one does not
-this book has a more stylized layout of the text, the other more plain
-this book comes with a tape (I didn’t buy it with the tape, though)
Just writing this to make sure that people who are thinking of buying are aware of this. Since I couldn’t figure out any significant differences, I gave one of the books to my dad 
(If Amazon doesn’t think this type of information belongs in the review section, I agreed, but I don’t know where else to post such info.)
As for my review: I find this book to be a refreshing change from most of the self-hypnosis books out there these days. There seems to be preciously few books that do not use the old standard “write your suggestions, memorize them, go into self-hypnosis and apply them” procedure, which really hasn’t changed in the last 15-30 years or so (not to mention tonnes of rules or guidelines on how to write suggestions). Besides, what brought my attention to self-hypnosis in the first place were time-distortion and pain-control (If you have to endure shots and bloodsamples on a regular basis, this becomes really interesting), two things very few books teach properly, if at all). In this book you learn a much more adaptive approach, where instead of following a mechanical process to achieve things, you take advantage of the natural tendency of the mind to change from moment to moment, wandering here and there. And it’s wonderfully free of all the “whoppedidooda-hey-hurray how great isn’t self-hypnosis, and how misconcepted aren’t people about this!” style of writing so common with so many authors. Instead of presenting self-hypnosis scripts which you may or may not be able to use, this book gives very simple and easy-to-follow instructions, in the form of short ‘exercises’ that help you learn what hypnosis is about. (This way you’ll also be able to take advantage of self-hypnosis for other things than sitting in a chair thinking through memorized sequences of words and images).
That being said, you don’t get consistent results unless you practice a few minutes now and then (daily?) over a period of weeks or months. I’ll freely admit I’m not the most experienced self-hypnotist (the grand canyon of understatement), and I have yet to achieve many of the things taught in this book; meaning this review should not be taken as any kind of guarantee that the methods will work. Reading this book will not be a life-changing experience. But using the methods presented, perhaps it is possible, over time, to change one bit here and there.
And thank God (figure of speech, I’m an atheist) this book doesn’t have “Quit smoking! Make more money! Experience perfect health! Get the life YOU want!” written all over it. No, it’s not possible to guarantee that you can have the life you want, and you may actually not succeed in quitting smoking in as little as a few months/weeks, even with the best available resources. No, you can’t loose 200 pounds of excess fat easily; it takes years upon years. No you won’t become a millionaire just because you combine “‘how to become rich’ for dummies” with hypnosis (though if you write a book on self-hypnosis, and riddle it with over-optimistic statements, you can at least add a little to you income). People are different. For most of us ‘Good things take Time’. This book doesn’t try to sell itself by saying otherwise.
I give it a solid 4 stars. (Why not 5? Because perfection is a hard thing to achieve, and I’d like to have an extra star in case I finally find that one special life-changing book…)
5 Stars Top of the pile!
These authors are perhaps best known for their book entitled ‘Principles of Self Hypnosis’ (now out of print) which for many years was the most regularly recommended primer on this subject. This academic work completely updates the former book and adds much new research to the subject area. It is very extensive in nature and written in a style that facilitates access to both the professional and the lay person wishing to use self hypnosis for their own benefit. The book is accompanied by an excellent audiotape which clearly demonstrates many of the techniques described in the book. Whilst appearing a little expensive when compared with other self hypnosis books, this book and audiotape (Available separately as Steps to Self Hypnosis) can definitely claim to be ‘top of the pile’ in quality of content, research and writing style.

5 Stars Excellent book .
Mr. Silver goes into areas that you can’t go into in the USA as in interviewing someone and using hypnosis when the suspect doesn’t want to be interviewed. I think this shows even with great resistance in some cases you still can get results.
Excellent book!!
5 Stars two books in one
Imagine you’re taken into a room and told you are going to be helped with past traumas, you don’t remember the next six hours.
A forensic hypnotist has put you under, what did you say?
This is really two books in one. The first one an international thriller (non-fiction) where secrets are torn from the memories of unsuspecting soldiers in Tawain. The second reveals, the up until now, closely guarded secrets of hypnotic “interrorgation”
If this was good enough to deal with soldiers in Tawain, imagine how you could use it.

3 Stars Useful, but read with caution
Overall there is some very useful information in here on the uses of hypnosis for pain control. It is written for clinicians, and so is free of some of the fluffier and more new age leanings of some other books on the subject. The potential buyer should be aware, however, that this is not a book with script ideas or lots of practical advice on how to phrase hypnotherapy sessions with pain patients. Rather, it provides an extensive overview of issues related to dealing with different kinds of pain patients and suggests how hypnosis is useful in these situations.
One aspect of the book that bothered me was that it seems suggest that pain without an obvious cause–which is often the case with chronic pain–is more likely to be psychosomatic in nature. In one passage it advises the hypnotherapist “to expect significant psychological factors in the maintenance of the patient’s pain” if that patient “uses unusually colorful terms” to describe the pain, such as saying that it feels like “fish hooks” or “a red hot poker.” One should be careful in making such sweeping generalizations. Intense burning sensations that patients might indeed describe as hot pokers that comes without an obvious physical cause, or that lasts long after an initial injury, is a classic description of reflexive sympathetic dystrophy pain. There are also many instances of inflammatory or nerve pain that is not easily diagnosed and that can feel like torture for the sufferer. It is extremely difficult, also, to describe different pain sensations. “Colorful language” or even odd descriptions that might not make a lot of anatomical sense is not necessarily a clue that the pain is largely psychological in nature. More recent developments in the study of chronic pain confirms this. I am both a trained hypnotherapist and a chronic pain patient for the past three years, so I speak with experience.
5 Stars Beyond Pain
This book goes beyond simple suggestion for pain. It encompasses the psychology of pain, which includes somatic, neuropathic and procedural pain. This book is an absolute must for anyone interested in pain management.
5 Stars Excellent. The definitive text.
As a lay person, I found that this book is not only a tool for clinicians, but also provides a valuable explanation of hypnosis for anyone with an interest in psychology. In his introductory chapter, Joseph Barber succinctly defines hypnosis and explains the phenomenon clearly and accurately. He makes the necessary distinctions to dispel myths about hypnosis and separate the hypnotic state from mere suggestion. Barber demonstrates a combination of sensitivity to human needs along with rigorous scientific grounding. It’s fascinating reading, and one of the very few books that a novice would need to understand the true nature of hypnosis.

4 Stars The Great 1’s Review
This is simply a great book showing you step by step instructions on how to use hypnosis. This book comes with an hypnosis wheel and sample hypnosis scripts. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about trying hypnosis. Some sections of this book go to far into detail (making the book boring).
