The benefits of entering a self-hypnotic state can be used to foster a greater self-awareness and an improved ability to deal with one's problems and reconcile difficulties. A liberating self-help guide about tapping into the wellspring of one's own strength and hidden powers of the mind. --Midwest Book Review
What fusion does for cuisine, and crossover for musicians, the author does for self-help in this remarkable book. A Chicago psychoanalyst, Davis developed her theory of mid by combining ideas of Sigmund Freud and Ivan Pavlov. She builds a therapy based on self-hyposis, assuming that the "Inner Guide" is a reservoir of comforting experiences and solutions to conflicts that people can learn to tap...
Davis regards psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and depression as partial or false solutions to overwhelming emotional challenges... The Davis method accelerates change with self-hypnosis.
Davis does not promise easy or instant magic. What makes this a challenge to skeptics is the combination of her experience, theoretical clarity, and confident optimism, bolstered by a decade of working with people who used the method. More than a treatment of symptoms, it offers help with quality of life issues: getting organized, taking care of oneself, being creative, and loving more fully.
