Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis

Hypnosis has always captured the attention of some of the most creative thinkers in the field of psychology. Today, hypnosis and hypnotic phenomena are studied with state-of-the-science neuroimaging techniques, and hypnosis has informed cognitive science (and vice-versa) in meaningful ways. In this second edition of the landmark Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis, editors Steven Jay Lynn, Judith Rhue, and Irving Kirsch have undertaken a significant revision and update to their classic text, first published over ten years ago. It is divided into six sections: Foundations and General Considerations, which includes chapters on the history of hypnosis and measures of hypnotizability; Theories of Hypnosis, in which hypnosis is examined within the context of various therapeutic constructs; Hypnotic Techniques, which includes a how-to primer for trained therapists to conduct hypnotic inductions, as well as chapters about the integration of hypnosis with mindfulness strategies; Treating Psychological Problems and Populations, which discusses the use of hypnosis in treatment for depression, PTSD and Anxiety; Health and Sport Psychology, which examines hypnotic treatments for pain control and surgery as well as for maximizing athletic performance; and finally Further Issues and Extensions, which addresses, among other things, popular and cross-cultural conceptions of hypnosis. Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis, Second Edition is the comprehensive resource for clinicians, researchers, and anyone interested in the theory and practice of clinical hypnosis.

Steven Jay Lynn is a professor of psychology and director of the Psychological Clinic at the State University of New York at Binghamton. He is a licensed psychologist and a diplomate (ABPP) in both clinical and forensic psychology, and he has served as a past president of the American Psychological Association's Division of Psychological Hypnosis.

Dr. Lynn has received the Chancellor's Award of the State University of New York for Scholarship and Creative Activities, and he serves on 11 editorial boards, including the Journal of Abnormal Psychology. Dr. Lynn has published more than 260 articles and book chapters, as well as 18 books on the topics of psychotherapy, psychopathology, memory, and hypnosis.

His research has been featured in numerous media venues, including popular magazines, television programs, and film documentaries. His research program has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health.

Judith W. Rhue is a professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She has coedited four books, as well as numerous book chapters, papers, workshops and presentations. She maintains a clinical practice in addition to her teaching.

Irving Kirsch is a professor of psychology at the University of Hull. He has published 10 books and more than 200 scientific journal articles and book chapters on placebo effects, antidepressant medication, hypnosis, and suggestion. His meta-analyses on the efficacy of antidepressants have been covered extensively in the international media and have influenced the official guidelines for the treatment of depression in the United Kingdom.
