At last, the book our profession has been waiting for, one those of us who know Lynda Hudson have been encouraging her to write for a long time. Lynda is the acknowledged expert on the use of hypnotherapy with children and her many years of experience are shared and reflected in the information, protocols, and creative and inventive scripts contained within this volume. Although aimed at the hypnotherapist, the broad spectrum of Lynda’s work found herein will be of immense value to therapists of all disciplines, providing ideas, encouragement and that often sought after source of sensible advice. Although it may seem a cliché to say, Scripts & Strategies in Hypnotherapy with Children really is an essential addition to any therapist’s library. Peter Mabbutt FBSCH,
Director of Studies for the London College of Clinical Hypnosis, co-author of Hypnotherapy for Dummies

If you don’t have any more room on the book shelf after purchasing all the books that I and colleagues have reviewed for you in The Hypnotherapist then I suggest a trip to B&Q to purchase either some wood and brackets OR a totally new bookcase.

Scripts & Strategies in Hypnotherapy with Children is a valuable resource for clinicians working hypnotically with children... delightfully imaginative; her language is permissive and she includes ego strengthening in every script to foster self-esteem and self-efficacy. Robots, fairies, treasure hunts and space ships contained in the metaphors will all entertain the child while the carefully crafted therapeutic message is embedded in the story thus cleverly bypassing any resistance to change... Ms Hudson has provided the hypnosis world with a wonderful resource for working with children.
