Overview

In Process-Oriented Hypnosis, internationally recognized psychologist Michael D. Yapko provides clinicians with a new framework for utilizing hypnosis with clients. Yapko encourages clinicians to take a broader perspective, in which patterns rather than individual symptoms are the emphasis of therapy. He offers numerous insights into ways clinicians can home in on the process of how people come to suffer various types of emotional distress. Beyond these insights, Process-Oriented Hypnosis provides highly practical information and specific examples for integrating this innovative perspective into clinical work. The key patterns of human experience are central to the first section of the book, providing a sound conceptual foundation and a wide range of examples. In the second section, Yapko provides ten richly structured hypnosis session transcripts for clinicians to insightfully adapt to their clients' needs. Process-Oriented Hypnosis offers clinicians a fresh perspective for working with clients that can be integrated into many different treatment models.

...offers a fresh and approachable vocabulary for many of the process-oriented concepts and techniques that have often been overlooked and all but lost in the teaching and training of modern psychotherapy.--Stephen R. Lankton, LCSW, DAHB, FASCH, Editor-in-Chief, American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis Michael Yapko distills and shares the very essence of his career-long knowledge and wisdom as a world-leading practitioner, teacher, and writer. His unique contribution with this new volume is in ways to use hypnosis effectively by articulating the specifics of how to be nonspecific. The process for learning this and becoming a more masterful clinician yourself is simple: first, read the book, and second, apply its approaches.--George W. Burns, Adjunct Professor of Psychology, author, 101 Stories for Enhancing Happiness and Well-being Michael Yapko has explored an element that has become identified as a core Ericksonian approach--the tailoring that follows listening carefully to the words, the phrases, and the expressions of the client, then subsequently adapting the direction of therapy specifically to the needs, wants, and desires of what is revealed and expressed by the subject. Yapko has taken that basic concept and turned the whole picture upside down and inside out.--Roxanna Erickson Klein, PhD, coauthor, Hope and Resiliency: Understanding the Psychotherapeutic Strategies of Milton H. Erickson, MD Once again Michael Yapko is proving himself to be a leader in the field of therapeutic hypnosis. This how-to book integrates practicing psychotherapy with salient and positive principles including ambiguity, expectancy, discrimination, impulses, compartmentalizing, acceptance, responsibility, action, integrity and foresight--the major principles of modern therapeutic hypnosis.--Ernest L. Rossi, PhD, and Kathryn L. Rossi, PhD, codirectors, PsychoSocial Genomics Research Institute and The Milton Erickson Institute of California Central Coast
