Book Reviews of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hypnosis, 2nd edition

Book Review: Forced outcomes without choice
Summary: 2 Stars

I think that one problem with this book is that it forces outcomes on people and reduces choice. For instance, the entire discussion of drinking. Yes, there are some people who will need to never drink again, because they are "true alcoholics". But for a majority of problem drinkers, total abstinence is not required (unlike hard drugs or smoking, where no real reason to continue, for example, based on health could be made, with drinking alcohol, especially red wine, real health benefits can be seen, and people in my view should have the option of having a beer or two or wine or two in a social setting, rather than being forced into lifelong, total abstinence from a drink that can save you from a heart attack).

She thus forces this outcome of total abstinence on everyone. I dislike this because it reduces choice. For instance, if you go to a hynotherapist in Britain, Canada, or Europe or Australia, moderation will be one potential outcome that you are given. The author falls into the trap typical of U.S. therapists, of thinking that only 12-step programs can work for people with alcohol problems. Whereas, even in the U.S., this view is being rejected. I think that the book is ok, but I would like to see this dogma removed in future.
