Following personal accounts of their paths to becoming hypnotherapists, directors of the Contemporary College of Therapeutic Studies, UK, present session excerpts to illustrate "quick change" techniques within cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming. Barber and Westland explain the selection, use, and processing of guided imagery and other techniques to work with conditions including eating disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, and shyness/lack of confidence, but not the common indications for hypnosis of insomnia and smoking. Authors' reflections on each other's work, interspersed quotes, a glossary, and references are included. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
