Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy With Children

As it states, at the time of publishing (1981) there was only one other book written on the topic, 20 years ago, and it was only a brief overview. As this literature was long overdue, the authors were highly motivated in writing it, as you can imagine. This is one of the better books on hypnosis; the information is still true today. I have not read any newer books on this particular subject, but if you're looking for an excellent place to start, you can feel totally confident in purchasing this book. And unlike so many other books I have read, which deal with theory and clinical considerations ... this book includes the complete hypnotic patter for administering suggestibility tests. That alone makes it worth the purchase (I think I paid a penny for mine); but you will find much more than that.This book is a fantastic resource and if you're a practicing hypnotist, it ought be on your bookshelf, in your mind.Go on now, reach for it. That's it, you've got it!

Great book for hypnotherapists.!!!

This book's first edition was published in 1981, describing itself as a "comprehensive text...[providing] an up-to-date survey of the available information on child hypnotherapy...a detailed, thorough, and stimulating source of ideas and creative approaches to understanding chidlren and helping them develop their potential to the fullest." The revised and expanded third edition includes new material, but hasn't changed substantially from the first edition - it is hard to improve on perfection. In its latest incarnation, this third edition remains the "gold standard in the field." For more specifics, do see my published review on this book in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 36:12, December, 1997, pages 1782-3

Truely the most comprehensive review of the medical/psychological literature on the topic of hypnosis in children. Dr.'s Kohen and Olhness have done it again.

Disappointed the cover is a bland silver and not the cover as shown on Amazon. Content is useful.

Really Pleased. with the book, full of information that I needed which was useful to pass onto others interested in the subject.

The book was, as promised, in perfect condition.One of the few interesting books on this subject.I'm a happy customer:-)

I am a Certified Hypnotherapist and I work with children, teenagers and adults. I have found this book a very good ressource when working with children. I refer to it on a regular basis in my professional practice in a medical centre. Anyone working with children using hypnosis should have a copy of this book.
