Trancework: An Introduction to the Practice of Clinical Hypnosis

Education & Reference Psychology & Self-Help Health & Medicine

Trancework by Michael D. Yapko and Peter Sheehan is the go-to hardcover textbook for therapists curious about clinical hypnosis. Routledge’s 2012 fourth edition pairs 664 pages of evidence-based guidance with a handy practice CD, making it a staple on psychiatry, psychology, and hypnotherapy shelves.

Inside, readers find step-by-step induction methods, case dialogue, and research updates that bridge psychotherapy and medical hypnotherapy without drifting into stage-show gimmicks. The clear, seminar-style prose keeps the learning curve gentle for counselors, nurses, and mental-health students alike.

This used copy shows gentle classroom wear: light cover scuffs, about a dozen dog-eared corners, and occasional faint pencil lines that never obscure text. The companion CD is present, so you can follow along with the trance exercises from day one.

A budget-friendly way to add the authoritative Trancework to your professional library—perfect for clinicians expanding their counseling toolkit or collectors seeking a solid reference on hypnotic intervention.
