Comments from Satisfied Readers...

Personal e-mail from a therapist:

Your two recent books about hypnosis are excellent! The first one was such pleasure to read that I ordered my copy of "The Art of Hypnotherapy" without hesitation.

The Art of Hypnosis

From Kevin Hogan, Ph.D., published author of several books:

The Art of Hypnosis is a must have book for anyone practicing hypnosis. The book is accessible for the beginner while offering powerful tools for the seasoned professional. Roy Hunter has succeeded in combining theory and practical skill, making hypnosis understandable and immediately applicable to the reader. The Art of Hypnosis receives my highest endorsement.

Kevin Hogan, Ph.D., D.C.H., Hypnotherapy Instructor and the author of The Psychology of Persuasion: How To Influence Others to Your Way of Thinking.

From Tad James, Ph.D., published author of several books:

The Art of Hypnosis brings together and outlines the work of the late Charles Tebbits, and is most skilfully presented here by Roy Hunter. This is a must read for anyone interested in the 20th Century history of hypnosis.

From John Hughes, D.C., NGH Research Editor:

The Art of Hypnosis is a lively hands-on learning experience grounded in well-documented theoretical concepts. The novice and experienced hypnotherapist will find this a valuable sourcebook on how to do hypnotherapy.

pdurbin@acadiacom.net from New Orleans, LA , March 4, 1998 (on Amazon.com), rates 5-stars:

A good basic book on hypnosis

Roy Hunter has done himself and his teacher, Charles Tebbets, proud with this book . It is a good book for beginners and professionals. It is a good companion book to Hunter's second and more advanced book, The Art of Hypnotherapy. Both have been helpful to me in my work at Pendleton Memorial Methodist Hospital, New Orleans, LA. I recommend this book. Chaplain Paul G. Durbin, Ph.D.

A reader from Michigan / United States , November 25, 1998 (on Amazon.com), rates 5-stars:

A very well composed publication

Having been interested in the field of Hypnosis for over twenty years I have read many publications on the subject. This book is on target. It is worthy of reading and having in your Library. If you are interested in learning more about the ART, this is a must read type of book.

My Thanks to Mr Hunter for composing this publication in a manner that allows it to be easily read and comprehended. I am looking forward to the release of his newest book "Master the Power of Self-Hypnosis.

A reader from New York , October 17, 1998 (on Amazon.com), rates 5-stars:

An excellent book on this subject.

Should be the standard text book on understanding this subject. I found this book as a reference in the Entrainment (ability of brainwaves to synchronize with external stimulas)and Subliminal software, Neurosync MIME. I bought it and was fascinated with it. Learned a lot, found the book extremely interesting, and highly recommend it.

A reader from a writer and lecturer in South Texas , July 16, 1998 (on Amazon.com), rates 5-stars:

Excellent preference & tutorial to The Art of Hypnotherapy

Excellent book for understanding the history, application, and techniques of Hypnosis. I recommend this book to friends and professional associates, as well as the Art of Hypnotherepy, for those wanting to learn about applying these techniques. I've found that using the Neurosync MIME software CD allows one to use subliminal messages and hypnotic Entrainment for behavior modification and many of my clinical contacts use the Art Of Hypnotherepy in conjunction with the software. I highly recommend this book to the curious, the student of Hypnotherepy, and the professional.

From a therapist in Ireland (via e-mail):

I have just finished reading your book "The art of hypnosis" and I felt compelled to inform you that I thought it was wonderful. I feel it is with out doubt the most straight forward , jargon free(especially for an American writer) , easy to read and yet packed full of very useful information book that I have read to date. I am currently recommending it to my fellow therapists here in Ireland and will continue to do so.

The Art of Hypnotherapy

meta@ix.netcom.com from Minnesota , June 8, 1999 (on Amazon.com), rates 5-stars:

Roy Hunter's finest book

The Art of Hypnotherapy is an outstanding contribution to the field of hypnosis and one that needs to be read by every practitioner. Kevin Hogan, Author of The Hypnotherapy Handbook and The Psychology of Persuasion.

From Pamela Winkler, Ph.D.:

Roy Hunter's text, The Art of Hypnotherapy, is a masterful presentation of the fundamentals as well as advanced techniques of clinical hypnotherapy. I highly recommend it for the beginner as well as the experienced hypnotherapist.

From a licensed physician (via e-mail):

Just finished your book The Art of Hypnotherapy. Another very readable and practical guide. Thanks for your efforts, dedication and time.

From Richard Zarro, R.H., Award Winning Author:

It is fabulous! It is a wonderful book that's going to help a lot of people, and it's well written.

From Robert Ortego, C.Ht., Counselor/Consultant:

This is by far the most dynamic and clear course on hypnosis I've read, truly inspirational! It's easily understood by anyone, both professional and layman alike. It is a MUST for anyone in the mental health care field using hypnosis.

From a highly respected hypnotherapy instructor:

As for the Art of Hypnosis and Art of Hypnotherapy, they are two of the finest books I've seen for new hypnotherapists, and I've read just about everything on the planet in this field.

From a hypnotherapy student:

Your book is excellent and easy to read. This is the first time I've ever wanted to finish reading a text book before finishing the class. I like your step-by-step approach and your writing style. You make things easy to understand. (Bob H., Counselor, hypnotherapy student)

From a Certified Hypnotherapist:

I have been waiting for many years for a hypnosis book like this one. In my opinion, it is the Bible of hypnotherapy (Cindy N., Certified Hypnotherapist)

 

Master the Power of Self-Hypnosis

Michael G Millett michael.millett@which.net from London UK , February 28, 1999 (on Amazon.com), rates 5-stars:

A recommended book from Elevated Therapy

The book has many techniques and powerful methods that can help you change your life in all sorts of ways! C. Roy Hunter answers many frequently asked questions about hypnosis, and he uses simple, creative exercises to help you empower yourself, overcome psychic obstacles, "creatively" daydream and I particularly liked his use of affirmations to remove ingrained negative programming that is holding you back. When willpower just isn`t enough (outside of therapy) to enable you to make the changes you want in your life, then this book is a great help to you at home in private.

From an ordained minister and hypnotherapist (stated in a public place):

Your new self-hypnosis book is the best one out there. I recommend it to my clients.

From a certified hypnotherapy instructor (stated in a public place):

Master the Power of Self-Hypnosis is worth far more than the price of the book. Everyone should own a copy!

From a professional trainer:

I would like to buy copies of Master the Power of Self-Hypnosis direct from your publisher and provide them to participants at my motivational workshops.
