Trancework: An Introduction to the Practice of Clinical Hypnosis, 6th Edition is a foundational textbook for practicing clinicians and health professionals undergoing clinical hypnosis training. The volume establishes clear guidelines for structuring hypnotic suggestions, cultivating supportive therapeutic contexts, and applying clinical interventions across diverse treatment settings.

Core thematic arcs explore the social psychology of human suggestibility, the mind-body relationship, and both conversational and structured hypnotic induction techniques. Practical application chapters detail interventions for clinical pain management, strategies for treating depression, positive psychology applications, therapeutic metaphors, and specialized approaches for children and adolescents.

Specialized "Frames of Reference" feature sections introduce readers to influential figures who shaped the discipline, including a profile of André Weitzenhoffer highlighting his work in hypnotizability assessment. This balanced coverage provides structured guidance tailored to the professional skill development of hypnotherapists and clinical trainees.
