Brian M. Alman, Ph.D. & Peter T. Lambrou, Ph.D.:
   SELF-HYPNOSIS:  The Complete Manual for Health and
       Self-Change  Second Edition; Brunner/Mazel, 1992, $22.95

From the publisher's description:

Guidebook and reference manual in one, *Self-Hypnosis* encompasses more
self-hypnosis techniques for mental and physical well-being than any
other single available source:  pain control, weight loss, smoking
cessation, allergy relief, a more satisfying sex life, better decision-
making ability, the elimination of phobias, improved parenting skills,
and many, many more.  Exceptionally lucid, practical and *motivating*,
the authors have managed to integrate essential professional information
together with common sense do's and donts.  The many case examples,
actual scripts, and sample procedures--all nondirective in nature--can
be effectively used verbatim or suitably adapter to the subject's ex-
perience and needs.

Publisher's blurbs:
   "Valuable...accurate...comprehensive...useful...understandable...
    mesmerizing.  One of the best books on the market on self-hypnosis."
        --Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D., Director, Milton M. Erickson Foundation

   "The most thorough, comprehensive, and practical book for the gen-
    eral public on self-hypnosis.  It is one therapists will prescribe
    for their patients."
        --D. Corydon Hammond, Ph.D., ABPH, President-Elect, American
               Society of Clinical Hypnosis

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I asked people I respect, and this is what they recommended.  I have
confidence in Jeff Zeig...if he recommends it, I'd buy it if it suited
my needs.

For those wishing to order this book (or to get a Brunner/Mazel catalog)
their numbers are: 800-825-3089, 212-242-6339 (FAX).

Brunner Mazel also has about 20 different audio-tapes done by Alman & Lambrou
to supplement this book.  Most of them are designed for the lay person
rather than the professional therapist.  The lay tapes are priced at $12.95.
These can at least provide examples of the delivery styles and intonations
used by the authors in working with this material.

Thanks for the info. I had been to several local bookstores, since
Friday's original posting, and nobody carries this book retail in the
Washington, DC area.
