English Summary/英文概要： THE INDUCTION OF HYPNOSIS offers an entirely new fundamental model of hypnosis from an Ericksonian perspective. It provides a comprehensive genealogy (an Ericksonian family tree), testimony to Dr. Erickson’s significant influence; deconstructs the key concepts of hypnosis; presents real-life cases, dispels myths; and demystifies the process of eliciting trance. It also compares and contrasts the traditional model of hypnosis with the Ericksonian model; delves into hypnotic evocative communication, “the language of hypnosis,” and the ARE model of hypnotic induction; and distinguishes between the three aspects of human experience: emotion, moods, and “states,” with “states” being the most operative in the elicitation of hypnosis.

Written with passion, expertise, and experience gleaned directly from Dr. Erickson, THE INDUCTION OF HYPNOSIS: An Ericksonian Approach dispels the stereotypical image of hypnosis as magic and mojo and brings into the light the real power and purpose of modern hypnosis.
