Readers will learn how to use an adapted model of Remen’s healing circle for preparing patients for surgery, and guided imagery and other approaches are presented for enhancing palliative care.

MEDIA REVIEWS

"This book is a gift from a master therapist to the helping profession. It includes a lifetime of experience and insights, as well as proof that certain approaches are successful. In addition to being a therapist, Battino is a professor emeritus of chemistry at Wright State University. He has a scientist's sense of exactness and the metaphoric heart of a poet. I not only recommend this book, but I have also been talking it up to everyone I know, because it is just that good." — John Lentz, D. Min, Vol. 41, No. 1, The Milton H. Erickson Foundation Newsletter (2021)"Rubin Battino provides a compassionate and meaningful framework for managing some of the most complex and delicate issues humans face. Readers will be inspired to discover and use their innate resources to meet life and death challenges with insight and grace." — Michael D. Yapko, PhD, clinical psychologist, author of Trancework: An introduction to the Practice of Clinical Hypnosis, 5th edition"The best brief therapy is like a tasting menu of dishes offered to a hungry person. Rubin Battino, with a scientist’s observation and a poet’s skill, brings forward dish after delicious dish—imagery, hypnosis, Gestalt, metaphor, solution-focus, relationship. A top chef can cook with any ingredients, and satisfaction follows." — Eric Greenleaf, PhD, director of The Milton H. Erickson Institute of the Bay Area and author of The Problem of Evil: Ancient Dilemmas and Modern Therapy"Battino has produced a heartwarming guide that is packed with information. This book is a must read for anyone providing psychological care in medical settings or within the context of palliative care." — Dan Short, PhD, director of The Milton H. Erickson Institute of Phoenix and author of William James – Milton Erickson: The Care of Human Consciousness"Rubin Battino brings a lifetime of clinical experience to this humble, substantial, and richly practical book. Readers will benefit from the author’s down-to-earth approach, which will enhance their clinical effectiveness." — Robert McNeilly, MD, MBBS, codirector of The Milton H. Erickson Institute of Tasmania and author Learning Hypnosis

"This is not a textbook with specific themes presented in an organized linear way. Rather, Battino chats with the reader, fascinates one with stories . . . and then brings home a new and unexpected perspective. I recommend the book as both enjoyable and thought provoking. For me, it elicited a tangle of associations and resonances with the psychotherapeutic lessons of the past fifty years." — Donald Moss, PhD, in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis (February 2022)"This book is a gift from a master therapist to the helping profession.
