From the initial interview to creating the best metaphors, Using Hypnosis with Children is a practical, step-by-step guide that shows health care providers (including therapists, nurses, pediatricians, dentists, and educators) how to create and deliver hypnotic interventions that are customized and effective into their pediatric clinical work, with utilization and flexibility as key components to an overall treatment approach. Using case examples of language for all age groups, readers learn first how to identify the salient targets or themes, deliver a session that hits these targets with precision, and then connect the session to the child's everyday experience. More broadly, readers learn to use hypnosis as a way to help create new neural pathways, teach self-regulation, introduce a more internal locus of control, and develop positive interpersonal experiences.

Chapters focus on the most common issues that children face, including anxiety, depression, medical procedures/pain, and sleep.

Industry Reviews

In Using Hypnosis with Children: Creating and Delivering Effective Interventions, Lyons changed some of my assumptions about hypnosis. . . . I learned that hypnotherapy is often more about visualization and redirection, especially with children. . . . [F]ull of useful strategies for opening dialogues, managing child and prent expectations, creating a safe working space, induction games, and helping children create useful coping strategies for all types of situations (blood draws, insomnia, depression, and so on).-- "PsychCentral" (1/27/2016 12:00:00 AM)
Lyons has compiled a reference book that many will be consulting for years to come. . . . Lyons is also incredibly well versed in utilization, and she takes it to an art form. Her examples masterfully demonstrate how to utilize whatever children bring to the session, in order to take them a step closer to their goals. Her examples are creative and wise. I love the way her mind works. . . . While there are other good books on hypnosis and working with children, this book is a must-read because the author's voice is so powerful and comforting. It's as if you're consulting a friend who is extremely knowledgeable and believes in you unconditionally. This book offers myriad options that provide wisdom and practical methods. I not only recommend Using Hypnosis with Children, I will use it to teach students about the art of utilization.-- "The Milton H. Erickson Foundation Newsletter" (5/1/2016 12:00:00 AM)
