In this practical, well-documented guide the authors present their brief cognitive hypnosis model, a unique approach that incorporates a cognitive perspective and a simple way of using ""change language"" to effect rapid change.The authors explain which dysfunctional problems are amenable to brief cognitive hypnosis, and which are not. Specific therapeutic procedures and techniques such as marble, eye fixation, and rising and falling arm inductions are presented, as well as their rationale and means of application, and guidelines for fitting them into clinical practice. Highlights include a single-session smoking cessation program and a comprehensive review of the ""Keys for Change"". Replete with case studies and numerous samples of verbatim trance induction scripts to facilitate therapeutic change, the clinician will find this a useful and expansive addition to their practice.
