'Ursula is a natural teacher and has distilled the essence of clinical hypnosis into this new text. Theory, however, is all very well but carries little weight if practical skills are lacking. It is in this aspect of the work that she excels. This wide ranging primer covers the theory, practice and history of the subject as well as including very useful links to further information. This fascinating subject is made accessible by her clearly structured approach and everyone from novices to experienced hypnotherapists are sure to gain new insights from the book.' Mark Feldman, in the Foreword
