Advances in Hypnosis for Medicine, Dentistry and Pain
Prevention/Management
By Donald C Brown
This comprehensive volume explores the biology of hypnosis and its
applications in medicine, dentistry, and pain prevention and pain management.
Drawing from presentations at the 6th Annual Frontiers of Hypnosis Assembly held
in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, Dr. Brown has created a Table of Contents that
will be of interest to the broad swath of clinicians. These chapters will inform
the thinking and practice both of clinicians who already use hypnosis and those
who are interested in knowing more about its efficacy and potential. The
original material has been copiously updated and expanded for this volume.
Divided into three sections, contributions range from "Mind/Body
Communication" and "The Biology of Hypnosis," to "Pain, Anxiety and Dental
Gagging in Adults and Children" and "Treating Pain, Anxiety, and Sleep Disorders
in Children and Adolescents." The closing chapter on Evidence Based Hypnosis for
Obstetrics, Labor and Delivery and Preterm Labor clarifies the importance of
hypnosis in pain prevention and in supporting the well being of mother and
child.
