This thorough revision of the first edition, updates and expands, with 25 percent new material, what was generally recognized as a major survey of contemporary scientific research in hypnosis. In this edition, also a classic, the editors include three new essays in modern hypnosis studies. They also provide a new conceptual framework--cognitive, ego-psychological, and phenomenological--with which to examine hypnosis. This edition is divided into six sections--Theoretical and Historical Perspectives, New Theories, Surveys of Broad Areas, Lines of Individual Research, Individual Researches within Specific Areas, and Anticipations for Future Research. The entire book was completely revised in the light of additional research since publication of the original edition. Thirteen of the twenty chapters in the first edition were updated by their authors, six so extensively that they amount to new chapters, with changes in title and order of authors in the case of coauthored chapters. Hypnosis: Developments in Research and New Perspectives is intended for researchers in hypnosis and clinical practitioners in medicine and psychology. The focus, as indicated by the changed subtitle, is on developments since publication of the original editions: empirical studies, experiments with physiological indicators of hypnosis, and theoretical uses associated with use of hypnosis as a research tool. Altogether, this second edition is a valuable overall guide to an intriguing topic.

Although research and practice in hypnosis has seen unprecedented expansion, there has been a definite lack of inclusive and comprehensive surveys to aid the student and researcher. This collection of original chapters written by leading experimental investigators is the first work to offer a current state-of-the-art in hypnosis research. A compendium of the historical background, theories, issues, and trends in hypnosis, this volume represents all major experimental viewpoints while providing a virtual ""who's who"" in the field of hypnosis.The first two chapters (written by the editors) establish the current theoretical base of the field and review the historical background. Seventeen contributions focus directly on key aspects of present day hypnosis research. These contributions are organized as surveys of broad topic areas, descriptions in depth of individual investigator's programmatic lines of research, and reports on research within specific areas, especially those representing new viewpoints and holding promise for programmatic development. A final chapter develops questions for future research.Offering an inclusive survey of the field from its historical inceptions to its current and predictive state, this book presents many new ideas while updating established positions in research and theory. The vital areas covered in connection with hypnosis include: psychophysiology, creativity, dreams, imagination, suggestibility, simulator controls, cognitive activity, and ego-psychological theory. In addition there are chapters on hypnosis as a research method, the measurement of altered states of consciousness, and hypnotic programming techniques in psychological experiments. Hypnosis: Research Developments and Perspectives is written for researchers in hypnosis and clinical practitioners in medicine and psychology. The book will serve as a basic text in all courses in hypnosis at the graduate level.

Modern hypnosis can be traced back to the 18th century and during this period mesmerism, as it was then known, was a healing practice which spread throughout Europe and North America. Since then hypnosis has been treated primarily as a psychological phenomenon and theories about hypnosis are grounded in mainstream psychology and its related disciplines. Most recently it has been subject to extensive clinical trials to investigate its therapeutic effectiveness. In their comprehensive introduction to this invaluable collection the editors trace the historical development of hypnosis, providing an excellent review of the theories that have tried to explain how hypnosis works and reflecting on the cultural and scientific attitudes and practices that prevailed at various times. They have selected the most important previously published papers that reveal how a scientific approach to understanding hypnosis as a psychological phenomenon has emerged over the last 70 years. They have also included a selection of reports on clinical applications and on legal and forensic issues. As such this volume will prove an invaluable reference resource for researchers and students already in the field and new scholars interested in learning more about hypnosis.

The Oxford Handbook of Hypnosis is the successor to Fromm and Nash's Contemporary Hypnosis Research (Guilford Press), which has been regarded as the field's authoritative scholarly reference for over 35 years. For postgraduates, researchers, and clinicians, this book is the definitive reference text in the field.

In the journey of understanding and healing the intricate world of medical conditions, there often arises a need for innovative and holistic approaches that go beyond conventional methods. This book, "Advanced Treatment for Williams Syndrome: Apometry, NLP, Regression, and Hypnosis," emerges from a deep passion for exploring novel dimensions of healing and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. My fascination with Williams Syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by unique cognitive and behavioral traits, led me on a quest to uncover transformative solutions that could provide relief and progress where traditional avenues fell short. The culmination of years of research, experimentation, and collaboration with experts in various fields is encapsulated within these pages. The journey begins with an exploration of Apometry, a technique that delves into the realms of consciousness and energy to bring about profound healing. Within these chapters, you'll discover not only the what and how of Apometry but also the profound impact it can have on Williams Syndrome and beyond. NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), regression, and hypnosis are also essential tools in this toolkit, each offering unique avenues for understanding and addressing the complexities of this syndrome. As you delve into the intricacies of each technique, you'll find practical guidance on how to implement these approaches effectively. From creating Apometry sessions to specialized commands for specific conditions, this book aims to be a comprehensive guide for both practitioners and those seeking to understand and aid their loved ones. But this book goes beyond technique; it delves into the intersections of science and spirituality, genetics and consciousness, psychology and the paranormal. It bridges the gap between what we know and what we can imagine, presenting a vision of holistic healing that incorporates various aspects of our multidimensional existence. My hope is that this book not only serves as a guide but also sparks new ideas and collaborations in the fields of healthcare, psychology, genetics, and beyond. The world of Williams Syndrome and other conditions alike can greatly benefit from a holistic approach that considers both the physical and metaphysical dimensions of healing. I invite you to join me on this journey of exploration and transformation. As we traverse through Apometry, NLP, regression, and hypnosis, may we uncover new horizons of understanding and bring forth a new era of healing possibilities.
