This book is ideal for health care providers, therapists, and educators seeking effective, evidence-informed methods to support children through hypnosis in clinical or educational settings.

From the initial interview to creating the best metaphors, readers will find a guide to using this alternative therapy with young clients. Individual sessions are discussed, as well as how hypnosis can help with specific problems such as anxiety, depression, divorcing parents and habits like thumb sucking, bedwetting, and lack of motivation.

Description

From the initial interview to creating the best metaphors, Using Hypnosis with Children is a practical, step-by-step guide that shows health care providers—including therapists, nurses, paediatricians, dentists, and educators—how to create and deliver hypnotic interventions that are customised and effective in their paediatric clinical work. Utilisation and flexibility are key components of an overall treatment approach.

Using case examples of language for all age groups, readers learn first how to identify the salient targets or themes, deliver a session that hits these targets with precision, and then connect the session to the child's everyday experience. More broadly, readers learn to use hypnosis as a way to help create new neural pathways, teach self-regulation, introduce a more internal locus of control, and develop positive interpersonal experiences.

Chapters focus on the most common issues that children face, including anxiety, depression, medical procedures/pain, and sleep.
