Review "Michael Yapko’s books are gifts that keep on giving, and the 5th edition of Trancework is no exception. In this updated and expanded version of his classic text, Yapko provides a state-of-the-art and state-of-the-science overview of clinical hypnosis. With his trademark thoroughness, balanced view, and clear writing, Yapko has provided another valuable contribution that is a joy to read. Trancework not only provides practical and detailed descriptions of the most effective hypnotic techniques, but gives clinicians the background knowledge needed to use these techniques most effectively. It is clear why Trancework is used so often as a basic textbook for teaching hypnosis." ―Mark P. Jensen, PhD, professor and vice chair for research, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Washington, and author of Hypnosis for Chronic Pain Management "Despite my extensive experience in doing, researching, writing, and teaching hypnosis, I found this new 5th edition of Michael Yapko’s Trancework both enriching and enjoyable. It is a fine blend of history, biographies, theory, research, philosophy, cases, and practical application, unlike any other compendium. It is elegant in its simplicity and accessibility while simultaneously providing a thorough presentation of each topic, complete with discussion of differing opinions, conflicting theories, and up-to-date references. The unique frames of reference throughout bring to life the contributions and words of the masters upon whose shoulders we stand. I believe each reader will enhance their personal understanding and growth by utilizing ideas from this incredible contribution to the world of hypnosis." ―Daniel P.

Packed with sound science, practical applications, therapeutic commonsense, and warm compassion, Yapko’s fifth edition of Trancework contains nearly everything about clinical hypnosis that both new and experienced therapists could ever need. One of the world’s most knowledgeable hypnosis educators and authors has significantly improved what I personally consider to be the world’s best hypnosis book." ―George W. Burns, adjunct professor of psychology, Cairnmillar Institute, Australia, and author of 101 Stories for Enhancing Happiness and Well-being "Michael Yapko’s new fifth edition of Trancework is much more than an introduction to the field of hypnosis: it is an essential book that provides insights and skills related to hypnosis that all practitioners and students of clinical hypnosis will want to master.
