In this succinct yet ample work, Zhao Tingyang, one of China`s most distinguished intellectuals, provides a profoundly original philosophical interpretation of China`s story and also develops a Chinese worldview for the future. Over the past few decades, the question Where did China come from? has absorbed the thoughts of many of China`s best historians. Zhao, keenly aware of the persistent and pernicious asymmetry in the prevailing way scholars have gone about theorizing China according to Western concepts and categories, has tasked both Chinese and Western scholars to "rethink China." Zhao introduces what he terms a distinctively Chinese centripetal "whirlpool" model of world order to interpret the historical progression of China’s tianxia (All under Heaven) identity construction. In this book, Zhao forwards a compelling thesis not only on how we should understand China, but also on how China until recently has understood itself.

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.
