UN LIBRO LLENO DE MENSAJES MARAVILLOSOS
Este libro y todos los del Doctor Weiss nos muestran de que venimos a esta vida a aprender, que no todo se termina con la muerte,si no que es un ciclo mas, he estado aprendiendo mucho con estos libros, te recomiendo todos los libros del Doctor Weiss, si estas en busca de ti mismo, y le tienes miedo ala muerte o no entiendes cual es la finalidad de tu existencia estos libros te ayudarn enormemente como lo hicieron conmigo, quiza todos tenemos diferentes maneras de asimilar la verdad, pero el Doctor Weiss nos muestra como el, siendo un Psiquiatra con bases ceintificas descubrio la verdad de muchas cosas y situaciones que los cientificos jamas podran explicar con sus teorias, definitivamente una serie de libros muy interesantes y llenos de mensajes que te llenaran de paz y esperanza.....

Fascinating book on past life regression
I read this book in one or two days. It is simply fascinating! It's a story told by a psychiatrist, who, while conducting psychoanalysis with a troubled young lady, accidentaly uncovered her past lives. Her current problems in her relationships and health (she suffered from anxiety and depression) turned out to be rooted not to problems in her childhood but to problems and events of her previous lives. Catherine also discovered an amazing ability to talk to the "masters" when being hypnotized. The book is definitely worth the read! ... Read more

the best history of Hypnotism and Mesmerism I've ever read!
I've been reading at Mesmerism and Hypnosis for years and this is the best single volume yet.This one gives a very clear lineal history of the transition from Mesmerism to Hypnotism, listing WHO added/deleted/discovered WHAT to the process.Read more

Fantastic
This book is so full of common sense wisdom that you may wonder why you haven't heard it all before. Yet the approach is unique, especially on dealing with addictions. Also, the use of client generated metaphors and imbedded suggestions is very well explained and interesting. I probably have enjoyed this book as much as any on hypnosis. Very enlightening!

Interesting
The chapter on addiction was unique. The approach taken about the addiction fad was different than other books I have read on the subject. While the book covers a wide range of hypnotherapy topics, including a very good chapter on metaphors as client controlled, the chapter on addictions alone would have made the book worthwile. It is a must read, and was a pleasant surprise to me-much more than I expected!

sophisticated, philo- and psychologically based viewpoint
A good treatise to help understand the very bases of hypno- therapeutic possibilities to help the patients. More a mature way of unserstanding than an elementary book for learning. ... Read more

An excellent hypnotherapy text!
This book has to be approached, that is, read,from the standpoint of a hypnotherapist learning to improve his skill set.It is, in a way, a difficult book to read because reading scripts tends to put you into trance.You must consistently read it with an eye toward picking out the phrasing used and the intent of the wording in the scripts.If this is done, the text is quite instructive and complete.The casual reader
Great for intermediates
I am relatively new to hypnosis.I have read a few books and have managed to advance my understanding of the practice with each.In my opinion, this book took me from beginner to intermediate.Some of the claims seem outrageous, but, I think that is part of his point anyway.I feel like I have taken a giant step forward after reading this one.

Informative!
As a hypnotherapist, it was nice to read more of the medical approch to hypnosis.Lots of information about why and how we get sick.It made me feel a little more knowlegable so that not only can I help, but I could also explain why and how we get sick in laymans terms, very advantagious in the pretalk.In reading the book, some outdated technics were used,(probably filler for the book). I'm not saying that they don't work, but these techniecs are no longer used.Read more

Simple Beginner's Book
This is a book with very simple conceptualizations of the human experience.It is an excellent book for enthusiastic young students, although it leaves much to be desired for the experienced practitioner.

Excellent book
This is a well rounded selection. It includes a variety of approaches, not leaning in a particular direction. It is best enjoyed with, or following, the authors' sequel book, Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis ... Read more

attractive book
This book offers a nice treatment of the history of hypnosis for the lay person (complete with funny quips and 'hypnosis-gone-wrong' stories), along with information on its many modern day uses including forensic, sports, childbirth, stage, and medical.The book has lots of full color fun illustrations and photos.It is NOT a book for the professional (or serious student for that matter), however, would be appropriate for their clients.Recommended for those interested in the topic of hypnosis - a fun and easy read. ...

Top Secrets of Self-Hypnosis
This was the first book I bought on this suject and it is great. Real easy to understand. This is the perfect book if you are just starting to get into this. It teaches almost everything you would want to learn. I enjoyedthis book a lot. You can master self-hypnosis producing the self-madeaudiocassetes and go on to use it to increase self-confidence, improvememory, cure insomnia, quit smoking, lose weight, break bad habits,remember dreams, enhance sexual performance, and more. Everything is verysimple. Easy-to-follow tips show exactly how to achieve whatever goals aredesired. The only problem with this book -- where are the secrets ofself-hypnosis?

Good book for beginner
As a novice, I found this a very interesting and informative writing. I have been able to use this info for age regression. It has given me a more positive outlook, by giving me a tool to research myself.Thanks ... Read more

I wish the author would write more books!
As a practitioner of the Chinese internal arts, meditation, etc. this book really resonated with me.Too many books on this subject are either intellectual psycho-babble, new age "theories" or worse yet don't give enough guidance to deal with the real issues you may encounter.
Not about meditation or spirtuality at all
It's a very basic, yet clear book on hypnosis, but it is not about reaching anything higher than the usual self-improvement goals

Some good information for nurses
This book was written some 20 years ago, but still isn't too out-of-date. The collection of articles written by Registered Nurses describe a wide variety of experiences using hypnosis in the clinical setting (children, cancer patients, pain control, etc.). Even after all this time, the use of hypnosis in nursing seems not to have caught on.Perhaps I should write a new book: "Hypnosis: STILL a New Tool in Nursing Practice." ... Read more

A Great Reference Book
This book is comprehensive, logically organized and, best of all, well-written. As a new hypnotherapist I've waded through dozens of books on the subject and this book is the best I've encountered so far. It will be my first resource. Ms. LaBay uses a client centered approach and provides many strategies in part 2 that allow the hypnotherapist to tailor the session to the unique needs of the client.
Hypnosis or NLP
I don't know if I'm outdated or what, but the books coming out now are more of NLP advertising than good old hypnosis.I found this book to be the same.Alot of information about other techniques rather than hypnosis. The hypnosis stuff is there but limited. Hypnotherapy - A Client-Centered Approach
When I first studied for my hypnotherapists license several years ago the field was very practitioner driven - you took the client where you wanted them to go.Ms. LaBay's book turns this process around 180 degrees and instructs the reader how to create a client-driven session.This produces remarkable results because the client takes themselves to precisely where they need to go to deal with their issue.Read more
