Never having heard of this title before ordering it I was not quite sure what to expect. This book is interesting because if anyone has read any of Erickson's work they know he was not a conventional hypnotist nor was he a conventional teacher as well. So it was remarkably fascinating to see him teach through this book in such a conventional way.I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning about hypnosis let alone Medical and Dental applications.
This was a very interesting book. However, it is not a “how to book” by any stretch of the imagination. The three doctors conducted a seminar for dentists, physicians, and others.I marked it down from 5 stars to 4 only because there are many problems with the transcription of the book. It appears that the doctors had handwritten notes and whoever transcribed the notes did not attempt to alter anything from the notes and typed them as the words appeared to them. In many cases, it is clear that the word intended was “he” but the transcriber wrote the word “lie”. This is also true of the word “are” which the transcriber saw as the word “arc”. These problems aside, it is a good book for a professional such as a physician or dentist who is seeking to expand the use of hypnosis in their practice.
To hear Dr Erickson and other Doctors teach hypnosis in the 50's to doctors and dentist reminds me how important the art of hypnosis is and how it has such a bad rap when really it is the art of relaxation and mental clarity and focus, I found it worth the read.
This book does provide a great deal of useful information and useful techniques for the practice of hypnosis in dentistry, however it is somewhat dated given the amount of other resources available. A major negative, not sure about the print edition, is that the kindle version is poorly edited making several passage difficult to understand.
