What is human consciousness, where did it come from, and how does it determine who we are and how we live in the world? At the heart of this book is the theory that human consciousness did not develop over time--that, in fact, ancient peoples from mesopotamia to Peru did not "think" as we do and therefore were not conscious. Drawing on laboratory studies of the brain and clos examination of archaeological evidence, the author concludes that consciousness is not a product of evolution but of catastrophic events in our own history, events that occurred as recently as three thousand years ago.

Combining the practices of the earliest healers with the latest data from modern medicine, this comprehensive work shows how the systematic use of mental imagery can help patients through painful events such as childbirth and burn treatment, as well as act as a positive influence on disease states such as cancer.

The purpose of this boldly honest book is twofold: First, it demonstrates that hypnosis can be a viable and effective approach to the treatment of depression. Second, it confronts the traditional criticism of its use head-on. By choosing to embrace rather than to ignore the opportunity for debate, Michael Yapko explodes some of the many myths about hypnosis and depression, replacing them with a compelling, well-rounded - and productive - discussion. Beginning with a fresh look at what is commonly referred to as clinical depression, Dr. Yapko unhesitatingly removes the stakes put down by the DSM-III-R to extend the definition from "mood disorder" to a lifestyle permeating all dimensions of human experience. In fact, he writes of depressions, rather than of major depression as a singular entity, to highlight this point from the start. A pivotal chapter entitled "Forbidden Friends" presents a clear refutation of the historical picture of hypnosis as an insidious negative approach to the treatment of depression that might actually trigger deeper depression or even suicide. Dr. Yapko clarifies how this unfortunate perspective evolved, and more important, he points the direction toward a greater appreciation of hypnosis as the powerful, respectful, interventive approach it can be. Broadly, Dr. Yapko defines clinical depression as a subjective disorder, which features an intricate system of negative projections about life and self.

First published in 1986. Scientific hypnosis has made great advances particularly since World War II, both as part of basic psychological science concerned with the understanding of brain, mind, and personality and as a professional skill in which knowledge of hypnosis is used to serve human welfare by enhancing the quality of life for those who have the good fortune to benefit from hypnotherapy and the related practice of hypnoanalysis. The reader is brought abreast of these developments through the arrangement of the chapters into two sections of the book, with the first four chapters explaining the basics of hypnosis as an altered state of consciousness interpreted theoretically from several points of view.
