If it is possible to learn the art and science (and business) of hypnotherapy from a book, then Clavin D. Banyan's "Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy: Basic and Advanced Techniques and Procedures for the Professional," could be that book. As doubtful as that prospect may be, this is an excellent and comprehensive textbook that will be particularly useful for the experienced professional hypnotherapist, and serve as a comprehensive introduction for the novice.

For those like me, who have a strong interest in the field, but are not involved in the occupation, there is still a great deal to be gained. Banyan writes with confidence and great authority. He obviously is a masterful practitioner and a great teacher. He is a hypnotherapist's hypnotherapist.

Written in 180 numbered sections, Banyan covers the basics and the advanced. He explains how to prepare and hypnotize a client, and gives excellent descriptions of the nuts and bolts: induction, deepening, emerging, making suggestions, identifying convincers, age regression, and Banyan's Five Phase Abreactive Therapeutic Hypnosis.

But there's much more: How to start and maintain a business, how to talk to clients, anticipate needs, and measures to take to guarantee a successful session.

This is an excellent introduction, refresher, and continuing education for practitioners.

Co-Written with Gerald F. Kein, what more can be said...
It's a great starter for Hypnotherapist beginners ad well as professionals.
Worth having as a reference.
For the ones who are familiar or Took the Omnihypnosi center training with Gerry Kein, it will seem a lot like a Deja-Vue with Cal Banyan experience to add to it from modern practices and his own perspective.
