Customer Reviews

Hypnotic reading!

These stories were just as hypnotic and trance-inducing as the therapies described. Deirdre's amazing talent for writing combined with an equally inspiring talent for genuine and human-centered therapy makes this book a refreshing and captivating treat to say the least. When I closed the book, my automatic reaction was "More please!"

A deep and enchanting book, yet easy to read

Hypnotherapy is easy to write badly about, and hard to handle with grace. Deirdre Barrett has done a superb job. Each "case" is thought-provoking; she never oversimplifies what she has seen; and the prose flows beautifully. First-rate.

It was fascinating!

I have the book next to me now and it really must be a best-seller! I agree 100% w/ Franz Mesmer's ideas and of the hundreds of psychological books i own,and all the books i have on therapy, case histories and hypnosis, this is my bible!
