“As we move into a future that is increasingly uncertain, difficult and potentially stressful, our emotional intelligence will determine who succeeds and who doesn’t, who lives a life of pain and who copes, who is happy and who is miserable, who has long-term relationships and who lives in solitude.” (p. vii) More...
Rubin Battino, M.S.
Can change occur in a single session of therapy? Rubin Battino says, yes, it can, if both the therapist and client expect it. That’s why Battino always conducts every therapy session “as if each session is the last one” in which he will see the client. In his latest book, Expectation, he writes that the crucial ingredient in the success of brief therapy is the expectation, on the part of both the therapist and the client that rapid, meaningful change is possible and will occur, even in just one session.

By Hugh Gunnison
When I first saw the title of Hugh Gunnison's Hypnocounseling, I was intrigued by the concept of blending the legacy of two men who made some of the most significant contributions to the practice of humanistic psychotherapy in the twentieth century. Like most counselors and psychotherapists, I studied Carl Rogers in graduate school and was quite enthralled with his book, On Becoming a Person (1961). Beginning a career as a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner a few years later, I, like so many other before me, became immersed in anything I could learn about Milton H. Erickson. What a delight to find a book that integrates and pays tribute to the work of these two geniuses! More...

By Roy Hunter, M.S., F.A.P.H.P.
Inner conflict is a common human affliction. Consider the smoker who knows cigarettes are a health hazard, but who, nevertheless, cannot kick the habit. Consider the person who wants to lose weight, yet can't resist fattening foods. It's not only the bad habits and addictions that plague us. There are illogical fears and compulsions, and the ethical and moral dilemmas that harangue the conscience and keep us awake at night. These are the troubles that clients often bring to psychotherapy. More...
