101     Introduction to Psychology: Gateways to Mind and Behavior, 10th Ed

Dennis Coon

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

102    Movie Mind: Directing Your Mental Cinemas

Michael L Hall

The real beauty of this title in that it captures the magic of the cinema and relates it to our everyday thoughts.

Ted Falconar

Albert Einstein thought in an entirely different way from ordinary people, and theorist Alfred Korzybski wanted to know why.

Now "Creative Intelligence" extends Korzybski's concept by weaving together the Eastern philosophies of Realization and Liberation.

• Strange - we remember odd things, so give it a strange change
• Story - we have a story mind, so link items together with a plot device
• Standard - it's hard to keep inventing new memory links, so use 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

Guilford Publications, 1989
ISBN:    0-89862-340-5

This practical book makes three radically different types of hypnosis easy to use in daily hypnotic work, exploring the methods of Milton H. Erickson, George Estabrooks and David Elman, presenting them in such a way as to allow a clear and accessible understanding. A resource for all students, trainers and therapists, it includes a range of powerful scripts for improved hypnotic work.

303    Dissociation: Clinical and Theoretical Perspectives

Edited by Steven Jay Lynn and Judith W. Rhue

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.

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

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.

In this breakthrough guide, Randal Churchill presents his theories on regression therapy along with actual transcripts that demonstrate the remarkable potential of this form of hypnotherapy.

Strategies include regressing to an initial sensitising event, emotional clearing, uncovering misconceptions and re-education; grounding and integrating a wealth of techniques such as hypnotic deepening; ideomotor methods; practical guidance in Gestalt strategies; and positive suggestions for inner healing. This is a clearly-written guide to the complex therapeutic exploration of the subconscious mind. Techniques discussed include:

• the integration of Gestalt and regression
• Churchill's fifteen steps for emotional clearing and major healing
• crucial protective ideomotor questions
• when to focus on emotions and when to detach and avoid emotions
• the use of regression to non-traumatic as well as traumatic experiences
• Hypnotic Dreamwork as regression
• the effectiveness of direct vs indirect suggestion
• reclaiming logic on both sides of the recovered memory controversy (with extraordinary care and expertise).

This book also recognises the many valuable uses of regression for non-traumatic exploration for self-discovery, as well as presenting insights into the controversies of recovered memories.
