Unfortunately, it often is difficult for therapists to obtain straightforward information regarding the nature of hypnotic trance or practical instructions about how to use it clinically.With this fascinating and informative new book, Havens and Walters provide a cleardescription of the hypnotic experience and a direct explanation of its clinical utility. More importantly, they also offer step-by-step guidelines for conducting hypnotherapeutic sessions and numerous verbatim transcripts of specificinduction and suggestion procedures.The format and content of this volume reflect the authors’ backgrounds in the Ericksonian tradition coupled with their years of experience as clinicians, teachers, workshop leaders, and researchers. In fact, their own research indicatedto them that the use of scripts enhanced the confidence and effectiveness of aspiring hypnotherapists.Their clinical experience provided numerous examples of direct and metaphoricalsuggestions that are useful with different types of problems. Finally, their observations and personal experiences suggested several new and exciting insights into the therapeutic process itself. By consolidating these multiple sources ofinformation, they constructed a book that gives clinicians ready access to a highly effective therapeutic tool.Hypnotherapy scripts begins with a concise presentation of the Neo-Ericksonian assumptions underlying the hypnotherapeutic approachof Havens and Walters. Perhaps the most innovative aspect of their perspective is the observation that the primary symptom of all clients is some form of pain- pain which clients naturally try to ignore or avoid, but to which they must pay attention in order to locate and heal the underlying source of their discomfort anddysfunction. Next, the authors explain how hypnosis is used to provide clients with a safe platform from which to view the source of their pain and to enable the therapist to suggest new patterns of thought or action that promote the healing process.The bulk of this unique book, however, consists of a series of scripts for clinicians to borrow or modify for their own use. There are a variety of induction scripts to cover virtually any situation.There are metaphorical problem-solving and direct suggestion scripts organized bypresenting problem (for example, depression, anxiety, phobias, sexual dysfunctions, jealousy, and psychosomatic disorders). There are even scripts and options provided for different types of trance termination procedures.These scripts are presented in a format which makes it easy to follow their intended cadence or rhythm. This feature, along with the authors’ use of alliteration, metaphors, puns, rhyme, connotations, associations, and other verbal stratagems,gives the scripts a captivatingly poetic quality. They almost irresistibly engage attention and focus awareness inward toward unconscious thoughts, memories, and understandings.Taken as a whole, Hypnotherapy scripts gives the therapist the knowledge and skillsnecessary to incorporate hypnotherapy into a clinical practice and thus to give each client the gifts of peaceful inner awareness and access to unconscious resources that otherwise might go overlooked or misused.”Havens and Walters have written a highly practical and delightfully straightforward book.  Hypnotherapy scripts provides the key elements needed to lean Ericksonian hypnotherapy: basic assumptions, general guidelines, and a multitude of relevant scripts. I highly recommend this long overdue and much-needed contributionto the field.”-STEPHEN G.
