Hypnosis for Chronic Pain Management: Therapist Guide

As an osteopath and hypnotherapist I cannot rate this book highly enough.Anyone involved in the treatment of chronic pain should keep this with them at all times,whether practising hypnotherapists or not..It is the clearest book I have read on chronic pain,giving a template for treatment and more importantly a quality biopsychosocial assessment.We now know that the therapeutic alliance is the key to quality outcomes in psychotherapy and Mark Jensen gives a method of really working up a strong alliance.I believe this to be true for manual therapy also. His scripts are great and evidence based,tackling different aspects of the nervous systems maladaptive response to chronic pain. So you can work on the prefrontal , insula,anterior cingulate cortices which are very much in line with Bud Craig's shift in paradigm in understanding pain pathways.

I haven't read the whole book yet but I am also a hypnotherapist with a special dedication for people suffering from chronic pain syndromes; this book has already been helpful. I like the fact that the author tries to give a global and generaL picture of all the aspects of the domain before giving the reader specific techniques useful in this domain. Thank you so much.

This is an excellent book for practitioners: doctors, clinical psychologists with a hypnosis background, and nurses in the chronic pain field. It provides scripts for beginners and ideas for the more experienced clinician. The book is easy to use and a delight to read. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

I am a hypnotherapist specialising in pain and this book is by far the best investment I have made! What a gem of a book. It has become my bible! A big thank you to Mark P. Jensen for offering such a clear and comprehensive book.
