Description: Hypnosis and imagery are among the oldest mind-body methods. As today's health care providers become increasingly interested in understanding how psychosocial and medical factors affect health, they are finding hypnosis and imagery to be valuable components of treatment. This volume is the first comprehensive discussion of how hypnosis and imagery can be used to promote women's health. The contributors review the relevant scientific literature and describe numerous practical techniques, using vignettes and case studies. Ways to customize treatment and the patient's active role are emphasized throughout this volume. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved).
