Handbook of Cognitive Hypnotherapy for Depression An Evidence-Based Approach
This handbook is the first to provide a conceptual framework and rationale–based on scientific, theoretical, and empirical evidence–for combining cognitive behavior therapy with hypnotherapy in treating clinical depression. The conceptual framework–the Circular Feedback Model of Depression–allows clinicians to adopt an evidence-based practice in psychotherapy, integrating the best research with clinical expertise in the context of patient characteristics, culture, and preferences. The book offers detailed guidance in applying empirically supported principles of psychological assessment, treatment protocols, therapeutic relationship, and intervention.
Hypnosis and Treating Depression Applications in Clinical Practice
In 1992, Brunner/Mazel published the first book ever written on the subject of applying hypnosis in the treatment of depressed individuals. “Hypnosis and the Treatment of Depressions,” by Michael Yapko, not only withstood the test of colleagues previously dismissive of hypnotherapy’s value as a tool of treatment, but thrived in the face of it. The ideas and methods of the book overcome a previously skeptical audience and are now frequently taught at workshops and conferences by professional societies. In 2001, Yapko published a second book on the subject with Brunner-Routledge, “Treating Depression with Hypnosis,” which was later awarded the prestigious Arthur Shapiro Award from the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis and named “the best book of the year on clinical hypnosis.” Now, Yapko proposes a book intended to diversify the range of topics to consider and increase the number of knowledgeable contributors on the subject of treating depression with hypnosis. The book will feature chapter contributions by experts on using hypnosis to treat specific forms of depression, with assessment and intervention strategies as well as sample transcripts of the use of hypnosis in therapy sessions. As a practical guidebook for clinicians looking to add to their treatment protocols, “Hypnosis and Treating Depression: Advances in Clinical Science “will provide an updated and comprehensive volume on therapeutic use of hypnosis in the treatment of depression.
Is hypnotherapy an efficient and successful career?
I like the fact that it deals with entering your unconcious mind and placing new and better ideas for better living. I want to be a certified clinical hypnotherapist for 2 reasons mainly. 1- to be able to apply hypnotherapy to the areas that need improvement in my life and 2- to help my family and friends get over experiences and mental barriers that stop them from acquiring their full potential.
Now, my question also extends to where can I become a certified hypnotherapist. I’ve been thinking of taking Steve G. Jones’ classes online. Also, can hypnotherapy be a successful career to to be financially happy?
In all honesty, you’re better off becoming a clinical Psychologist in cognitive behavioral therapy. Most psychoanalytic practices (including hypnosis) are becoming less and less respected by both the public and the APA/CPA. Job options, if any, would be very limited.

Which would you choose?
If you were to go to a psycologist to help relieve your addiction to smoking or eatting food. Both psycologist offer hypnotherapy. One psycologist moonlights on the weekends at clubs as a hypnatist. Would you chose A. the Psycologist that moonlights as a hypnotist on the weekends or B. the Psycologist that only offers clinical hypnotic services?
Both therapist are clinical hypnotherapist, but A. enjoys the entertainment possibilities of his skill, but I see your point about thinking he needs the money. If hypnotherapist A. had plenty of money and enjoyed moonlighting as a hypnatist entertainer at clubs, who would you chose as your psycologist?
I would choose psychologist B if I was aware of psychologist A’s transgressions. I would assume that since psychologist A moonlights as a hypnotist at clubs he must therefore need the extra money due to inadequacy as a professional, seek to capitalize on a psychological phenomenon, showboat his prowess toward hypnoses, possibly discuss patients outside of work, and even act condescending or boastful toward patients.
The argument that psychologist A simply loves what he does, and wants to spend all his free time doing it doesn’t really work for me. Hypnosis as a public spectacle carries too many negative connotations for that argument to be plausible, at least for me.

Definitely B, the psychologist that only offers clinical hypnotic services.
