Alladin (Foothills Medical Center; University of Calgary Medical School) demonstrates how hypnotherapy can be combined with cognitive behavioral therapy to improve patient outcomes in emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and sexual disorders. Unlike other books on hypnotherapy, the book advocates a case formulation approach to clinical practice, which allows the assimilation of techniques to be based on empirical findings. Each clinical chapter focuses on a particular emotional disorder and offers case studies and step-by-step treatment protocols. The book also provides a template for integrating other forms of psychotherapy with hypnotherapy. Appendices provide assessment forms, hypnotherapy scripts, and forms for case formulation and treatment plans. The book will be useful to hypnotherapists, cognitive behavioral therapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals.
