In discussing modern hypnosis it clarifies the differences between the different types of hypnosis and approaches. For example, traditional hypnosis is an approach which normally follows scripts. The more modern approach of Ericksonian seeks to understand the underlying reasons and provides an application in context which does not use scripts. NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is also discussed as a more advanced approach. Using strategic hypnotherapy as developed by Gordon Young includes understanding behavioural changes and thought processes. These are seen as modern and more effective approaches.
The book discusses how modern hypnosis gives health benefits with practical application to issues. It states that as a complimentary therapy it has been shown to be effective in many issues. Addiction of substances combined with physical treatment has been useful to "help break addictions for good". It has also shown to be helpful for pain relief when drugs and diet are not helpful. One example of where pain relief is used is child birth. Another example from the book is the reduction of stress when the use of diet and exercise fail. A study on PTSD by Gold and Quinones (Gold, 2020) discusses why hypnosis is effective. Other areas include "70% of people with Bulimia... recovered fully with no relapses after one year" (Coman, 1992). These are some examples of conditions shown to benefit. Hypnosis is defined as benefitting people by changing their behaviour. Areas of application are described in easy to understand terms.
