Hypnoterapie v kazuistikách – Bezvodová Šárka (2024)

Hypnosis is the oldest psychotherapeutic method, whose effectiveness has been scientifically proven and documented countless times. Yet even today, it remains shrouded in mystery, which breeds distrust among both healthcare professionals and the general public. This publication contributes to dispelling that distrust and presents hypnosis as a respected therapeutic and diagnostic method with a wide range of applications. It provides basic theoretical insights into hypnotherapy and its sub-methods, hypnosis, self-hypnosis, and the application of autosuggestions. The author describes her three-pronged model and places it in a broader context of approaches and methods. In the second part, she illustrates the practical use of hypnosis in psychotherapy through eight stories, allowing readers a glimpse into her thought and experiential world while offering a variety of suggestions. The book is intended not only for professionals among hypnotists and psychotherapists but also for other colleagues in helping professions, including doctors and other healthcare providers. It may attract readers from the general population who are interested in hypnosis as a therapeutic and developmental method.
