Solution-Oriented Hypnosis: An Ericksonian Approach (A Norton professional book)

"As a hypnosis primer, you will go a long way to find anything that matches this book. Outstanding introduction to Eriksonian hypnotherapy, inductions, et al. A must buy for all those therapists looking to use 'casual conversation' and 'storytelling' (metaphor) as part of their armoury."

"Very good introduction to Ericksonian approach, useful for a beginner and helpful for an experienced practitioner."

"O'Hanlon's introduction to solution-oriented work and ericksonian hypnosis is top-rate, while managing to avoid excessively leaning on the purple coat-tails of Uncle Milty (Milton H. Erickson), or on anecdotes about how he was once hypnotized by Erickson himself and thus came to find the "true" path to therapeutic success.

The experienced practitioner of hypnosis or solution-oriented therapy will find it an enjoyable read for an introductory review. Those experienced in one or the other modality will find something of value in learning about the overlap between the two disciplines, and the way they can amplify each other.

For the curious reader interested in hypnosis, or the beginning student of either method, this is one of the best combinations of readable style and substance on the market."
