A "Must Read" for anyone considering hypnotherapy!

Dr. Temes wrote what I believe to be the best book ever written for the consumer who wishes to consider hypnosis or hypnotherapy as a modality for health care or self-improvement!Her book is both comprehensive and easy to understand, a very rare combination to be found in any book; and it is filled with valuable information for anyone considering investing in hypnosis or hypnotherapy. While the author has very credible scientific credentials and professional experience, her information is served to the reader in an objective manner, with the goal of helping the consumer to make an informed choice. She empowers the consumer with important information to help those who desire hypnosis or hypnotherapy to choose wisely, and does so without bias either for or against "lay hypnotists" who lack academic credentials.Whether you are a consumer considering hypnotherapy, a student of hypnosis, OR a practicing professional, this is a "must read" book. In presenting this important information, Roberta Temes has provided a GREAT SERVICE to the general public!Roy Hunter M.S.

This idiot can understand this book

I am a very busy health professional and have limited time to read material that is so technical that you must work your way slowly through it. Dr Teemes is my kind of writer. She gets the message across is a simple but well thought out manner. I may try some self hypnosis now.

Tremendous!

Fantastic basic information, presented in a non threatening fashion for all readership. I read this new addition to my library several times already during the past month! An easy read, that I highly recommend for all those who are interested in hypnosis at any level. Temes, does a great job of simplifying difficult concepts!
