The Symptom Path to Enlightenment: The New Dynamics of Self-Organization in Hypnotherapy : An Advanced Manual for Beginners

History records that hypnosis began more than two hundred years ago before the advent of modern psychology, psychiatry & psychoanalysis. In fact, a careful reading of history helps us understand how most schools of psychotherapy have their roots in hypnotherapy & they often do not recognize it. IN THE FIRST HALF OF THIS BOOK WE REFORMULATE THE FOUNDATION OF ERICKSONIAN HYPNOTHERAPY FROM FIRST PRINCIPLES. We explore how hypnosis can be understood in terms of the current mainstream of mathematics, physics & biology that is becoming known as the SCIENCE OF SELF-ORGANIZATION, ADAPTIVE COMPLEXITY & CHAOS THEORY. IN THE SECOND HALF OF THIS BOOK WE FOCUS ON PRACTICAL CLINICAL DETAILS OF THE NEW IDEO-DYNAMIC APPROACHES TO HYPNOTIC INDUCTION & THE DYNAMICS OF SELF-ORGANIZATION IN HYPNOTHERAPY. The new language of hypnotherapeutic work & the innovative non-verbal methods of facilitating the creative process in helping people solve their own problems in their own way are developed in-depth with clinical cases.
