A remarkable collaboration between psychologist Rossi and gynecologist-obstetrician Cheek, this book guides and empowers therapists and patients to find the keys to their own health and well-being through therapeutic hypnosis. Hundreds of engaging case reports from Cheek's forty years of clinical work bring the theory of mind-body therapy to life, while Rossi's chapters link Cheek's often intuitive work to the latest research in psychobiology.

The Psychobiology of Mind-Body Healing: New Concepts of Therapeutic Hypnosis

The new understanding of the relationships between gene expression and human experience emerging from the Human Genome Project is setting the stage for a profound expansion of our understanding of life. The new neuroscience discoveries about enriching life experiences, neurogenesis, and gene expression are poised to profoundly expand our understanding of psychotherapy and the holistic healing arts. We are just beginning to learn how the brain, the body, and our genes interact in ordinary everyday life to create our lives. Here, acclaimed author and pioneer of new approaches to mindbody communication Ernest Rossi introduces the new science of psychosocial genomics and explores how it will profoundly change our understanding of the pathways of communication among mind, body, and spirit. Integrating modern molecular medicine with traditional holistic healing art and spiritual rites, Rossi documents dramatically new approaches to optimize creativity in psychotherapy and therapeutic hypnosis with both individuals and groups. Part I reviews significant leading-edge neuroscience research on the psychobiology of gene expression and neurogenesis that leads to a new vision of the role of consciousness and creativity in the humanities and the healing arts. Part II explores how to creatively facilitate the psychodynamics of gene expression, neurogenesis, and healing in therapeutic hypnosis, psychotherapy, and human relationships in general. The Psychobiology of Gene Expression illustrates, step-by-step, how to facilitate the natural four-stage creative process on all levels from mind to molecule in our daily work of building a better brain. The book demonstrates how we can use our consciousness and our perception of free will to co-create ourselves in cooperation with nature. Rossi proposes practical approaches to optimize the natural cycles of gene expression in normal consciousness, sleep, dreaming, meditation, and the arts of daily living that are experienced by everyone. A case study spanning two chapters, containing dialog and explanatory commentary, brings the author's work to life and gives readers a deeper appreciation of its clinical application. Rossi's lucid writing style and vivid illustrations inspire this text with a new vision of the creative arts, humanities, and culture in facilitating the optimal development of health, performance, and consciousness.

From the front flap of this 274 page book: "'Creative Choice in Hypnosis' explores the following important questions through a presentation, never before published, of Erickson's own hypnotic workshops and demonstrations: Is hypnosis a process of manipulation or facilitation; Does the hypnotherapist control people; Or, does the hypnotherapist simply give people permission to heal themselves. This authoritarian-permissive paradox of hypnotherapy is most evident in Erickson's use of the double bind. This volume takes the reader on a journey that recaptures Erickson's evolution of the therapeutic double bind: from a technique based on an authoritarian concept of 'illusory choice', the book takes us to a modern vision of the double bind as a 'free choice among comparable alternatives'. This new vision represents a profound shift in attitude: creative choice, not control or manipulation, is now fostered as the inherent agent of healing in psychotherapy. [This book] also builds an important bridge between East and West by illustrating the common denominator of the naturalistic utilization approaches to hypnosis in the West and the traditional Zen methods for achieving satori, or enlightenment, in the East."

Creative Choice in Hypnosis (The Seminars, Workshops, and Lectures of Milton H. Erickson, Vol 4)

History records that hypnosis began more than two hundred years ago before the advent of modern psychology, psychiatry & psychoanalysis. In fact, a careful reading of history helps us understand how most schools of psychotherapy have their roots in hypnotherapy & they often do not recognize it. IN THE FIRST HALF OF THIS BOOK WE REFORMULATE THE FOUNDATION OF ERICKSONIAN HYPNOTHERAPY FROM FIRST PRINCIPLES. We explore how hypnosis can be understood in terms of the current mainstream of mathematics, physics & biology that is becoming known as the SCIENCE OF SELF-ORGANIZATION, ADAPTIVE COMPLEXITY & CHAOS THEORY. IN THE SECOND HALF OF THIS BOOK WE FOCUS ON PRACTICAL CLINICAL DETAILS OF THE NEW IDEO-DYNAMIC APPROACHES TO HYPNOTIC INDUCTION & THE DYNAMICS OF SELF-ORGANIZATION IN HYPNOTHERAPY. The new language of hypnotherapeutic work & the innovative non-verbal methods of facilitating the creative process in helping people solve their own problems in their own way are developed in-depth with clinical cases.
