This book is not a set of rigid techniques but is a guide to some elegantly simple approaches to hypnosis so that a reader can have an opportunity to see what might be helpful to explore, to adapt, to translate. It is a collection of practical, every day observations based on McNeilly's nearly 40 years of clinical experience and teaching. It evolved from his enchantment of Milton Erickson's approach and makes an otherwise overwhelmingly complex experience more available.
