Hypnosis and Sex TherapyThis volume presents a remarkably clear and useful integration of hypnosis, cognitive therapy, and sex therapy. Starting from a firm basis in both hypnosis and sex therapy, it evaluates the theoretical rationale for using hypnosis in the treatment of sexual dysfunctions and outlines numerous specific applications. The author introduces important new concepts, particularly the concepts of the processing phase of sexual functioning and of negative self-hypnosis. |
