Affect Regulation Toolbox

A Book Review By Tim Brunson DCH

Affect Regulation Toolbox: Practical and Effective Hypnotic Interventions for the Over-reactive Client

Generally I find that there are two types of books about hypnotherapy and the other integrative arts. The first is a book that merely repackages or documents current or historical thought and information. While there are plenty such books out there, they merely serve to provide an educational value to the clinical and lay readership. Then there are the books that actually contribute to the evolution of the field. Frankly, I find that Affect Regulation Toolbox: Practical and Effective Hypnotic Interventions for the Over-reactive Client by Carolyn Daitch, Ph.D. to be one of the latter. This book must be considered at the same level of contribution as the D. Corydon Hammond's 1990 seminal work on suggestions and metaphors.
