Have you ever fumbled for the right words in a difficult or unique situation during hypnotherapy? Wouldn't it be priceless to have a resource that provided you with scripts and patter to solve many problems and unexpected events during hypnosis? Knowing the magic words to use will help you turn any difficulty into an opportunity to really help clients, rather than give up in despair and these patter scripts will make you a better hypnotist. This book goes beyond just a few scripts of patter. This book will actually teach you how to structure hypnosis suggestions, compounding them and making them effective. This is not a script book that gives you start to finish "scriptnosis" scripts to read, but rather teaches you the useful patter to incorporate into your own hypnotherapy sessions; actually helping you to create your own scripts and suggestions.

First published in 1994, this book provides a selection of time-tested hypnotherapy scripts which aim to ease a variety of problems such as in the workplace, concerning pain relief, psychometric disorders, fears and phobias, self-discovery, memory retrieval, habit disorders, ego strengthening and sexual difficulties. The volume also intends to assist with such problems of childhood as enuresis, learning disabilities, fears, night terrors and asthma while also suggesting a variety of induction and self-hypnosis techniques. Hunter offers an insightful commentary alongside each script which exhibits state-of-the-art research as well as an expanded reference section and annotated bibliography. Its spacious format enables therapists to take notes as required and alter the script to meet the varying personal needs of their patients. Case histories and in-depth information as to how and when to use a particular script is also included.
