Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy with Children

This book's first edition was published in 1981, describing itself as a "comprehensive text...[providing] an up-to-date survey of the available information on child hypnotherapy...a detailed, thorough, and stimulating source of ideas and creative approaches to understanding chidlren and helping them develop their potential to the fullest." The revised and expanded third edition includes new material, but hasn't changed substantially from the first edition - it is hard to improve on perfection. In its latest incarnation, this third edition remains the "gold standard in the field." For more specifics, do see my published review on this book in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 36:12, December, 1997, pages 1782-3
