ABSTRACT
Knowing the basic forms of suggestion structure, the fundamentals of hypnotic induction, and the potential shifts in experience associated with various hypnotic phenomena, we can now focus more specifically on developing hypnotic and strategic approaches to treatment. In this chapter, I will consider some of the practical foundational principles for introducing and integrating hypnosis into the therapeutic context. How will you decide what exactly to say to a client who is suffering when you know that each word, each phrase, you employ has the potential to make a positive difference?
