The Hypnotic Brain Hypnotherapy and Social Communication
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Broad and deep survey
This is one of the best overviews of hypnosis (and related aspects of mental function), suitable for general as well as specialist audience. Where are you, Peter Brown? We need more of your ideas.
5 Stars Mainly a good reference book to the scientific literature.
This book is best read as a reference and overview of the current state of scientific research on hypnosis. The bibliography is wonderful. However, it is written in the overly dense prose of academic/scientific journals (to prove that the subject matter and author are “serious”), so if you’re looking for a pleasant reading, this book isn’t for you. If you are a grad student or researcher in psychotherapy, neurology, anthropology or biopsychology, then you will find this book very useful. If you would simply like to learn how to hypnotize others or use hypnosis in therapy, this is not the book to buy.
5 Stars Readable breadth and technical depth on hypnotic process
This is a rare find in a book about hypnosis: thre is approachable information about nearly EVERY level or type of hypnotic function for both the lay reader AND the expert seeking details and models or theories of hypnotic process. Peter Brown matter-of-factly explodes the notion that hypnosis is some bizarre state and simultaneously give us interesting tidbits and detail about how nearly all brain function is related to what we loosely call “hypnosis.”
Especially because of the flurries of news about false memory syndrome and hypnosis in the not-so-distant-past, this book is both a delightful tour through the human brain, and a useful reference. A MUST read for the generally curious about hypnosis, the hypnotherapeutic practitioner, and anyone in the helping or healing professions
