This classic text is compiled from the tape recordings of dozens of seminars that were conducted by experienced clinicians, under the auspices of various professional societies and universities in the United States. It comprehensively presents the material upon which thousands of clinicians have based their successful use of clinical hypnosis, and allows contemporary readers, through transcripts, to see how Erickson conducted hypnosis and taught students.
