Using Guided Imagery and Hypnosis in Brief Therapy and Palliative Care presents a model for effective single-session therapy.

Chapters include more than a dozen case studies with transcripts and commentary. Readers will learn how to use an adapted model of Remen's healing circle for preparing patients for surgery, and guided imagery and other approaches are presented for enhancing palliative care. Extensive appendixes provide a wide variety of valuable tools that psychotherapists can use with clients concerned with end-of-life issues.

Yapko, PhD, clinical psychologist, author of Trancework: An introduction to the Practice of Clinical Hypnosis: 5th edition.

"The best brief therapy is like a tasting menu of dishes offered to a hungry person. Rubin Battino, with a scientist's observation and a poet's skill, brings forward dish after delicious dish-imagery, hypnosis, Gestalt, metaphor, solution-focus, relationship. A top chef can cook with any ingredients, and satisfaction follows." - Eric Greenleaf, PhD, director of The Milton H. Erickson Institute of the Bay Area and author of The Problem of Evil: Ancient Dilemmas and Modern Therapy.

"Battino has produced a heartwarming guide that is packed with information. This book is a must read for anyone providing psychological care in medical settings or within the context of palliative care." - Dan Short, PhD, director of The Milton H. Erickson Institute of Phoenix and author of William James - Milton Erickson: The Care of Human Consciousness.

Erickson Institute of Tasmania and author Learning Hypnosis.
