Harry the Hypno-Potamus Vol 1 & Vol 2 Set
By Linda Thomson
First there was the best-selling Volume 1: Harry the Hypno-potamus:
Metaphorical Tales for the Treatment of Children. Now, Volume 2, More
Metaphorical Tales for Children, brings back the engaging menagerie of
characters to further entertain - and help - children challenged by a variety of
issues. Although every story contains a therapeutic message, never does it
interfere with the "storyness" of the tale being told. Instead, the embedded
message slips easily into the child’s subconscious, while smiles and giggles
preoccupy his or her awareness. Delightful, color illustrations bring all the
characters - Dr. Dan, Yapko Elephant, and all the others (including, of course,
Harry himself) - to life.
For parents, the book opens up new possibilities for communication that is at
once non-threatening and yet powerful. For the clinician, the metaphors
contained offer a rich tapestry of techniques and hypnotic language, which can
be adapted to any situation, problem, or personality. In Volume 2, they will
find 35 stories that address topics within the categories of anxiety, habit
disorders, pain, and more. For children, the important lessons that their zoo
friends teach will last a lifetime.
Now we are making it possible to purchase both volumes 1 and 2 for the
special combined price of $89.95.
