Dr Dunlap rolled a small library of about 30 books into his medical class and told them it was a monumental compilationof everything that was known about diabetes, published in 1920, before the discovery of insulin. He then held up a book of about 200 pages and said this was published in 1930, after the discover of insulin. Always read the little book'.Dabney Ewin has been teaching medical hypnosis for the past thirty years and in his experience he believes that a small bookis likely to be a clear message by a knowledgeable author.This simple but immensely powerful book is a testament to all the ideas that Dr Ewin wished he had known about when hefirst starting practising hypnosis. He has sought to make this publication as little as possible, consistent with the message ofseeking to take a complicated idea and presenting it in the simplest way.The words and phrases are designed to give any beginning or experienced student a foundation about the working of hypnosis.Divided into five sections with a comprehensive reference section for further reading, this book can be taken one page at a time from the beginning or browsed through randomly.'''101 things I wish I'd known when I started using hypnosis' is a valuable pocket size resource that will appeal to anyone interested in hypnotherapy, whether they are a novice or a recognized expert. The book is entertaining, informative and well written, and contains a wealth of knowledge, drawn from many years of experience. In terms of the contents the author ably demonstrates restraint, concision and precision. There are only 128 pages, but they all contain 'nuggets' - the sort of advice and wisdom that you usually only get word of mouth from a trusted mentor. I found the 'words' section particularly useful as the author confronts the complexity of language head on. To paraphrase the author - what we say, how we say it, and what we omit all matter but so do intuition and feeling.'' - Andy Young, Senior Lecturer in Mental Health NursingSheffield Hallam University
