I have often looked for a book like this on working with children, and this is an excellent volume. … All-in-all a well structured and easy to read book which will form a welcome addition to any hypnosis practitioner’s reference library. –Ursual James, Visiting Teaching Fellow, Oxford University Medical School
Ms. Hudson’s stories are delightfully imaginative; her language is permissive and she includes ego-strengthening in every script to foster self-esteem and self-efficacy. … [She] has provided the hypnosis world with a wonderful resource for working with children. –Lynda Thomson PhD, MSN, CPNP
