This book should have been titled everything you wanted to know about hypnosis and more.
Both professionals and non professionals will find this book helpful.
The material that was presented fully explains each step of the hypnosis process in an orderly and detailed manner. Several chapters build on the information which was provided in previous chapters.
If you have a fear of hypnosis this book will relieve your fears. It offers the reader detailed information on the process, how it works and what to expect.
Dr. Temes provides the reader with a wealth of information on the subject of hypnosis. She shares her years of private practice to educate the readers in the hypnosis process and how through hypnosis she was able to help her clients.
Chapters discuss reasons people choose or should choose to use hypnosis to assist them with health problems, to break habits such as smoking or drinking and to improve their lifestyle. Information is given to enable the readers to hypnotize themselves.
I found this book to be easy to read informative, and in parts funny.

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!

I was completely misled about this book. It does not tell you at all how to perform hypnosis. It tells you how to BE HYPNOTIZED by someone else–that is, what to expect, what is possible, how to find a hypnotherapist and so on. It is not a self-help book at all; after reading this book you will not be any more able to help yourself than you were before. This is a “how to be helped by someone else” book.

Makes for a pleasant albeit bloated read. My impression is that most people would do well beginning with self-hypnosis and many would be fine sticking just to self-hypnosis. Temes’ focus seems to be on wide coverage, i.e. showing all the things that hypnosis may help with.
Another book that gives wide coverage while sticking to self-hypnosis is Allman’s and Lambrou’s Self-Hypnosis: The Complete Manual for Health and Self-Change. But Allman and Lambrou seem to provide more substance.
I’ve enjoyed Leslie LeCron (“Self-Hypnosis: The Technique and its use in Daily Living” and “The Complete Guide to Hypnosis”). Self-talk, visualization, quiet sitting and common sense comprise a lot of self-hypnosis, so once you’ve realized that, your dependence on any hypnosis book will drop, but some writers do share useful techniques and focus. Hypnosis books tend to be inexpensive so you can try out a few to find the one(s) that connect best with you. For me, this book by Temes tends toward being too wide and not deep enough. Whereas I just have to pick up LeCron’s “Self-Hypnosis” book and I. to my surprise, immediately involuntarily find myself breathing slower and deeper, as well as feeling calmer. But there’s no magic, it’s just that it’s the book I got into self-hypnosis with and trust.

The book is well written if a guide for positive thinking, and basics of self hypnotism. It is weak in the areas of induction, depth of trance, and hypnotic phenomena. The positive thinking approach suggested is valid, but barely touches on hypnotism in many chapters.
