Hypnotism:the thing that is not
"In many ways the concept of hypnosis is analogous to some other mysteries that have confused and confounded scientists in the past--such as phlogiston, the ether wind, and 'N-rays.'" Those are not hypnotism's only analogies.Decades after the Condon Report established that UFOs are misidentified mundane phenomena, the media encourage the ignoranti to believe that humanoid aliens are abducting human beings.A decade after James Randi's Project Alpha, the masses continue to believe in paranormal phenomena.And a decade after Robert Baker proved that "the phenomenon called 'hypnosis' does not exist, has never existed in the past, and will not exist in the future," the masses,whose only source of informationis the vast wasteland, continue to believe that 'hypnosis' is more real than demon possession or witchcraft. Interesting, but lacking
Some of the book is enjoyable and insightful. However, much of it seems to merely argue semantics. Makes some good points, but is mostly lacking in substance. ... Read more

Must Have!
Just stop for a moment, and imagine you could listen to the master hypnotist Milton H. Erickson give descriptions and examples of applying hypnosis for change. Wouldn't it be great? In these 1981 audio tapes, thatis what you get. The details and examples that Erickson gives apply to theuse of hypnosis in any context, and he says as much at the start of theseminar. The sound quality is typical for seminar audio tapes recorded then- monaural w/slight hollow sound and tape hiss, but clear and distinct.Now, like me, if you're interested in persuasion, sales, NLP, hypnosis, andcommunication you already know Milton H. Erickson's incredible reputationfor inducing trance. Whether you want these tapes and book to help in yourefine your skills, because you want to hear Erickson's voice for yourself,are a student of the craft, or simply want to add to your collection,you'lldefeinately want to pick these up. ...

Photographs, diagrams, and extensive written detail
Secrets Of Dr. Zomb is the impressively engaging autobiography of the talented Ormond McGill (quite justifiably considered to be the "Dean of American Hypnotists"). Written by McGill to especially to share the magic of his life and trade with aspiring stage performers and hypnotists, Secrets Of Dr. Zomb uses photographs, diagrams, and extensive written detail to explain techniques for past-life regression, mind control, self-hypnosis, performing hypnosis on stage and much more. An enthralling and information-packed reading experience (especially for students of mesmerism and magic), the Secrets Of Dr. Zomb is one of the more unique memoirs and would grace any community library collection. ...

Along the lines of "Journey of Souls"
Much like Michael Newton, the hypnotherapist who's work led him to write "Journey of Souls", Michael Gabriel has written a similar book using the stories and data from many individuals he has regressed to a period before birth. Where Newton's book focuses on the time between lives, Gabriel's book focuses on the time in the womb and seem very careful not to stray too far into the land of reincarnation. This book is great for showing how aware the fetus is inside the womb. The end of the book has a great section on dealing with pre-birth issues and techniques for parents to communicate with their unborn child.

psychological approach to pregnancy
This book gave me goosebumps the first time I read the narrations and intervews. The author cites evidence that some individuals have awareness of what things happened at their moment of conception. The author promoteshypnosis and levels of consciousness with great recommendations for parentstowards prenatal preparation for birthing. ... Read more

The Bible of non-EEG Biofeedback; a practitioner must-have
If you are going to get into biofeedback as a practitioner you really must have this book. It provides a wonderfully comprehensive, detailed picture of a wide range of biofeedback applications, modalities, issues and techniques. Edited and partially written by Mark Schwartz, founder of the Mayo Clinic Biofeedback program, and Frank Andrasik, both past presidents of AAPB (Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback,) the book offers an encyclopedic amount of information on themost frequently used forms of non-EEG biofeedback. It only has one chapter on EEG biofeedback-- though that one, by Joel Lubar, is an excellent. Even practitioners getting into work which focusses primarily on EEG should buy this book and include in their library, since it offers valuable perspectives on working with the kinds of clients/patients likely to be encountered. The Best Guide to Biofeedback Practice
Swartz and friends provide a thoughtful and extensive review of the history,methods,and applications of biofeedback practice. Primarily intended for health professionals, the book covers a variety ofdisorders/medical conditions that can be treated by biofeedback, andprovides detailed instructions as to how to treat each disorder. Schwartzhas been an integral figure in the development of professional standardsfor biofeedback practice as well, and the book also addresses this topic,as well as ethic issues. Has proven to be extremely helpful in training andpractice. Well written. ... Read more

Comprehensive
The book is not a fun read, dealing with research in a very technical and statistical way. Just the same, it meets the intent, providing a balanced and thorough profile of what is going on. There is something here for any interested person."An Ego-Psychological Theory of Hypnosis" by Erika Fromm was probably my favorite. "Dissociation and Theories of Hypnosis" by Ernest R. Hilgard was also quite good, as was "Hypnosis, Psychopathology, and Psychological Regression" by Michael R. Nash.Best of all, the book has writings from such a variety of authors that all should find something of value. ... Read more

Fascinating book on past life regression
I read this book in one or two days. It is simply fascinating! It's a story told by a psychiatrist, who, while conducting psychoanalysis with a troubled young lady, accidentaly uncovered her past lives. Her current problems in her relationships and health (she suffered from anxiety and depression) turned out to be rooted not to problems in her childhood but to problems and events of her previous lives. Catherine also discovered an amazing ability to talk to the "masters" when being hypnotized. The book is definitely worth the read! ... Read more

Hopeless hypnosis
This self-promoting 'Confession' is a severe disappointment if you want to learn anything useful. The 'revues' accompanying it are misleading in the extreme and to cap it all the Adobe Reflow system has been incorrectly configured so that its almost impossible to read on a PDA. Save yourself the pain - this is one to avoid. ... Read more

DE LO MEJOR QUE HE LEIDO
He leido muchos libros de superacion personal, ynunca pense que un libro que hablara de reencarnacion me ayudara tanto como muchos de los libros que he leido, este libro supero todas mis espectativas,siento que he supereun poco el miedo mas grande que he tenido siempre que es el miedo ala muerte, este libro me ha ayudado mucho a superar la gran ansiedad de no saber hacia donde iba y el de no poder volver alas personas que tanto amo, es increible, se lo recomiendo a todas aquellas personas que sufren por la perdida de un ser querido y aquellas que como yo sufria de mucha ansiedad por no saber que hay despues de la muerte, esto no tiene nada que ver con religion, esto no me hace dudar de mi religionsi no mas bienamplia mis espectativas y me llena de esperanza y paz.......

Un libro lleno de mensajes maravillosos
Lazos de Amor es un libro maravilloso. Lo lei hace algunos anios y lo sigo comprando constantemente para regalarlo a la gente que aprecio. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

Es lo mas hermoso que he leido...
Soy una fiel seguidora del Dr. Brian Weiss, he leido todos sus libros y cada uno ha sido una experiencia maravillosa. Muchas Vidas Muchos Sabios (o Maestros) nos abre las puertas a un mundo totalmente espiritual, nos hace perderle el miedo a la muerte pues es solo un periodo de transicion. Mi padre es medico, Cardiologo, y aun siendo un cientifico, por su profesion el ha tenido experiencias con pacientes que han sufrido paros cardiacos y han regresado relatando experiencias muy similares a las que se narran en este libro. Muchas Vidas Muchos Sabios llego a mis manos en el momento de una perdida muy dolorosa, mi hermana menor acababa de fallecer en un accidente de autos. Ese libro fue un consuelo increible en ese momento, llego a mi vida en el momento en el que mas lo necesitaba. Cada vez que algun amigo o conocido esta pasando por una experiencia similar, sin pensarlo compro una copia de este libro y se la obsequio. Por su lado, Lazos de Amor es el segundo libro mas hermoso que he leido. Nos ense�a que el amor es infinito y que nunca muere. Es lo unico que realmente vale, lo unico real. Recomiendo ambos libros al maximo, cambiaran la vida de los que lo lean!!!! GRACIAS DR. WEISS!!! ... Read more

Fantastic
This book is so full of common sense wisdom that you may wonder why you haven't heard it all before. Yet the approach is unique, especially on dealing with addictions. Also, the use of client generated metaphors and imbedded suggestions is very well explained and interesting. I probably have enjoyed this book as much as any on hypnosis. Very enlightening!

Interesting
The chapter on addiction was unique. The approach taken about the addiction fad was different than other books I have read on the subject. While the book covers a wide range of hypnotherapy topics, including a very good chapter on metaphors as client controlled, the chapter on addictions alone would have made the book worthwile. It is a must read, and was a pleasant surprise to me-much more than I expected!

sophisticated, philo- and psychologically based viewpoint
A good treatise to help understand the very bases of hypno- therapeutic possibilities to help the patients. More a mature way of unserstanding than an elementary book for learning. ... Read more
