Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy for Anxiety: Brief Therapy with Hypnosis - The Practical Guide

In this practice manual, psychotherapists learn how they can use brief therapy to achieve quick and lasting results for many patients with anxiety. Dr. Kossak combines the two effective methods of hypnosis and cognitive behavioral therapy: it usually works immediately after just one session. The author provides a clearly structured introduction to the underlying theories of the method, which can then be used directly in the extensive practical section. The case studies with study questions make this treatment tangible. The effectiveness is proven by large, sustained catamnesis periods.
