101 Introduction to Psychology: Gateways to Mind and Behavior,
10th Ed
Dennis Coon
Wadsworth Publishing, 2003
ISBN: 0534612288
Price: $90.95
As a science psychology seeks to understand the mind. This course discusses
the major applications of this understanding to human problems and behavior.
Applications of psychology to law, business and industry, mental health,
medicine, education and the general community may be studied.
In this revitalized, redesigned, and thoroughly updated Ninth Edition
of his best-selling text, Dennis Coon presents psychology in a way readers
will find fascinating, relevant, and above all, accessible. Built into every
chapter are a number of features-originated by Coon-that help readers grasp
major concepts, develop a broad understanding of psychology's diversity,
and see for themselves how psychology relates to the challenges of everyday
life. Dennis Coon's delight in the subject matter of psychology and in the
readers' curiosity, insights, imagination, and interest is apparent on every
page. In a course where professors are frequently confronted by students
who haven't actually read their textbooks, Coon's text offers a solution.
Coon effectively presents the latest research, the latest controversies,
and the key scientific content in an involving way that gets students "hooked"
on psychology and eager to read on. Because readers become actively involved
with the material, they develop a basic understanding of psychology that
they take with them into their future courses and careers. Coon was the first
textbook author to make effective use of cognitive principles to teach psychology
by building each chapter around the SQ3R study-reading formula: survey, question,
read, recite, and review. In the Ninth Edition, Coon has added a fourth "R"
- Relate - to create an SQ4R structure, designed to help students better
retain the material by encouraging them to relate it directly to their
own lives. A new subtitle-Gateways to Mind and Behavior-highlights the
relevance of psychology to everyday life. There are certain takeaway concepts
(or "Gateways") within each area of introductory psychology (and infused
within each chapter) that, once mastered, will provide students with the
ability to unlock a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around
them, throughout the course and beyond

Ted Falconar
Crown House Publishing, 2002
ISBN: 1899836497
Price: $19.95
Albert Einstein thought in an entirely different way from ordinary people,
and theorist Alfred Korzybski wanted to know why. Studying Einstein?s unique
thought processes in his book Science and Sanity, he explained how genius
works, and named this process Non-Aristotelian Thinking. Now "Creative
Intelligence" extends Korzybski's concept by weaving together the Eastern

device

the same symbols consistently

205 Hypnosis: a Jungian Perspective
James A. Hall
Guilford Publications, 1989
ISBN: 0-89862-382-0
Price: $35.00
For the practicing Jungian analyst, Hypnosis: A Jungian Perspective encourages
beneficial cross-fertilization between traditional analysis and hypnotherapy.
For the therapist involved with hypnotherapy but unacquainted with Jung,
this landmark volume promotes the judicious clinical application of basic
Jungian principles.
This innovative work integrates modern hypnotherapy with Jung's analytic
psychology, successfully linking the skilled practice of hypnosis with
the Jungian vision of the human psyche. As developed by Hall, the Jungian
conceptualization of hypnosis draws on the theory of psychological complexes
and their participation in the sense of self-image that inevitably is a
part of the ego. Hall's succinct yet thorough review of the Jungian model
of psychological functioning conveys the essence of Jung's view of the psyche
while elucidating its suitability as a basic framework for hypnotherapy.
206 Self-Hypnosis: the Chicago Paradigm
Erika Fromm and Stephen Kahn
Guilford Publications, 1990
ISBN: 0-89862-341-3
Price: $40.00
A major contribution to the scientific study of self-initiated self-hypnosis,
this volume is essential reading for all researchers and theoreticians
in the field of hypnosis and in phenomenological psychology. In addition,
it will be of enormous value to those psychologists, physicians, and dentists
seeking to more effectively utilize self-hypnosis in clinical practice.
While used abundantly in clinical work, self-hypnosis has been somewhat
neglected as a subject of systematic study. An outstanding exception to
this trend has been the work of Erika Fromm and her colleagues at the University
of Chicago, who have for the last two decades extended the theoretical
and empirical base of this technique. Now, key publications of this research
group are compiled in one volume along with much new material by these authors,
providing a full perspective on the development of their methods and theories.
As such, Self-Hypnosis is the first systematic, empirically oriented exploration
of the phenomena and characteristics of self-initiated self-hypnosis. Moreover,
its examination of self-hypnosis, taking the experiential rather than the
behavioral approach, yields a more complete study of the aspects of the
self that can unfold during hypnosis.
207 Trance on Trial
Alan W. Scheflin and Jerrold Lee Shapiro
Guilford Publications, 1989
ISBN: 0-89862-340-5
Price: $26.00
This book is an invaluable resource for hypnotherapists, hypnosis researchers,
forensic psychiatrists and psychologists, and lawyers.
Written primarily for clinicians who practice hypnotherapy, Trance on
Trial offers a comprehensive, authoritative evaluation of the use of hypnosis
in the courts, as well as practical strategies for maximizing the legal rights
of clients while minimizing the liabilities of practitioners.
The book's detailed examination of both investigative and therapeutic
hypnosis identifies common legal pitfalls and ways to avoid them. Receiving
special attention are those actions that can jeopardize the admissibility
of a client's testimony. Considered here are the ever-evolving standards
of admissibility governing evidence acquired with the aid of hypnosis.
208 Communication Magic: Exploring the Structure and
Meaning of Language

by having complete control over how you relate and interpret what you are

feats in the nervous and immune systems; and how the magic can bless, empower

Clinical Psychology
Stephen Lankton
Crown House Publishing, 2003
ISBN: 1904424112
Price: $26.95
First published in 1980, this book is still considered the basic primer
for understanding NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). The author demonstrates
all these basic techniques for change and relates these to other established
schools of psychotherapy. The result is a fortunate marriage of theory
and practice. Covers a wide range of topics - some in depth, and some which
give a tantalizing glimpse of results which therapists dream of achieving.
The outcome is a happy event which any therapist, novice or veteran will
find useful. This book constitutes an important part of the integration
of several contemporary psychotherapies with the orientation taught by
Milton H. Erickson and the modeling practices used by Richard Bandler and

303 Dissociation: Clinical and Theoretical Perspectives
Edited by Steven Jay Lynn and Judith W. Rhue
Guilford Publications, 1994
ISBN: 0-89862-186-0
Price: $65.00
Scientific and popular interest in dissociation and dissociative disorders
has grown significantly in the past decade. Responding to the need for
an authoritative reference on this topic, Steven Jay Lynn and Judith W.
Rhue present an unusually comprehensive volume, covering the major aspects
of dissociation--from the predominant models and diagnostic and treatment
approaches, to significant research, clinical, and conceptual issues. Illuminating
reading, Dissociation confronts many of the controversies and debates surrounding
the topic. Founded on research and grounded in theory, it is an important
addition to the scholarly literature.
Laying the groundwork for the rest of the book, the first section discusses
current theoretical and research perspectives on dissociation. Chapters
set forth results of the latest research alongside actual clinical examples.
In the second section, chapters present practical information designed to
assist clinicians in diagnosing and treating clients suffering from dissociative
disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, and the consequences of sexual
victimization and cult involvement. Fostering an appreciation for the ways
in which social and cultural factors affect the expression of dissociative
symptoms, this section also illustrates the ways in which transference
and countertransference can affect dissociative symptoms and the treatment
of multiple personality disorder, (MPD).
The third section, on current issues and controversies, provides invaluable
information for all clinicians who encounter clients with dissociative
disorders. Chapters probe such questions as whether trauma causes dissociative
pathology, whether and under what circumstances pseudomemories of child
abuse can be created, the relationship between conversion and dissociative
disorders and their respective placement in diagnostic classification schemes,
and areas of possible rapprochement between those who believe in MPD and
those who are skeptical of the disorder.

306 Hypnosis, Memory, and Behavior in Criminal Investigation
Kevin M. McConkey and Peter W. Sheehan
Guilford Publications, 1995
ISBN: 1-57230-008-6
Price: $40.00
Building a comprehensive framework for understanding the issues involved
in practicing hypnosis in the forensic setting, the authors of this book
integrate current research on hypnosis and memory with their own findings
based on years of experience working with witnesses and victims of crime.
McConkey and Sheehan use detailed case material to illustrate ethical, legal,
and professional "gray areas" in forensic hypnosis, pointing to a range
of issues that the existing psychological and legal literature fails to
address. Filling these gaps, the book offers detailed procedural guidelines
- highlighting issues such as recovered memories, faking, and the rights
of hypnosis subjects - to help practitioners cope with the demands of criminal
and legal investigations while ensuring the welfare and well-being of subjects.
307 States of Equilibrium
John Burton
Crown House Publishing, 2003
ISBN: 1899836896
Price: $37.95
This cutting-edge work represents a major step forward in both our understanding
of the human personality and our ability to attain a higher level of human
development.
John Burton's unique theory of personality asserts that every person strives
to achieve a state of emotional and mental equilibrium. This state of inner
calm allows us to respond effectively to the challenges of everyday life
- as opposed to unresolved internal conflicts which often create chaotic
internal states. "States of Equilibrium" thoroughly explores the strictly
internal relationship between these states of mind and emotion within the
individual, with the aim of helping us move towards a state of mental balance.
By presenting a variety of human development theories as well as NLP concepts,
such as Meta-stating, Burton equips counsellors and NLP practitioners with
all the tools necessary to neutralise stress and anxiety in their clients.
John Burton holds a Doctorate in Human Development Counselling and a Master's
Degree in Clinical Psychology. He is licensed as both a Professional Counsellor
and Supervisor as well as being a certified Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic
Programming. Dr Burton has over fifteen years? experience as a psychotherapist
and currently runs his own private practice, "Educare Counseling." He also
teaches psychology on a part-time basis at a local college in addition
to conducting personal-growth workshops.

Crown House Publishing, 2002

demonstrated by means of scripts and case studies ensuring a comprehensive
understanding of the techniques involved.

skills to the art of effective story-telling

the application of metaphor for all ages
- the use of metaphor in specific approaches such as: sleep induction,
pain control, trauma, reframing, art therapy, hypnotherapy, healing, preparation
for surgery, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy and ordeal therapy
- language forms
- metaphor in Ericksonian psychotherapy and hypnosis
- themes and ideas.
Containing sample scripts and suggestions for basic and advanced metaphors,
