This handbook is intended for those professionals who are concerned with the management and treatment of medical and psychological disorders and the counselling of people with behavioural and emotional problems, and who wish to learn more about the application of hypnosis to their work. The book assumes no prior knowledge of hypnosis on the reader's part, and the first two chapters provide an introduction to the subject. The remaining chapters cover the use of hypnosis with psychological, sexual and physical problems and in medicine and dentistry - there are also chapters on hypnotherapy with children, and on professional and legal issues.
