Milton Erickson's complex language patterns form a major part of most therapists' work. This remarkable book develops the language further and includes comprehensive scripts and case studies. "Should be part of every therapist's tool chest." Jeanie Phillips MA LPC

This book dissects and describes the conceptual ingredients that construct hypnotic language. Clinical case examples and dozens of hypnotic language scripts are provided to illustrate the identified principles.

This text presents a new approach to the use of hypnotic suggestion. For years, hypnotherapists have used scripts which are aimed at a particular problem, like smoking or weight loss, rather than aiming at the client who smokes or has weight issues. Trevor Silvester suggests that it is not the problem that is the problem; it's the client's unique relationship with the problem that's the problem. The book aims to free you from the constraints of scripts and enable you to use your creative skill to weave subtle spells that empower your clients by changing their model of reality. It presents the science behind suggestion, and the means of using that science to create magical ways of influencing others.
