Short-Term Dynamic Hypnotherapy and Hypnoanalysis: Clinical Research and Treatment Strategies

Milton V. Kline deserves special recognition in the history of scientific hypnosis for his efforts both as a phychodynamically oriented clinical hypnotherapist and as a champion for the scientific investigation of hypnotic phenomenology. In this book, Dr. Kline seeks to present the historical roots, clinical methods, and scientific basis for hypnosis as a powerful method for conducting a short-term, focused, phychodynamic hypnotherapy. The text encompasses 23 chapters that provide historical perspectives, the therapeutic focus advocated, clinical assessment, and the application of treatment strategies to a wide variety of clinical problems, from those encountered in behavorial medicine to substance abuse and, of course, in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
