      Over the past several decades, “infection control” has become a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field of incredible importance with regard to the safety of patients and healthcare workers, regulation and accreditation of healthcare facilities, and finances.

      L'hypnose est aujourd'hui reconnue comme thérapie pour de nombreuses applications, notamment le traitement des douleurs rebelles (angoisses, phobies, troubles du sommeil, etc.). Nombre de médecins, psychiatres, psychologues, mais aussi généralistes, pédiatres et anesthésistes recourent à cette pratique. Sur le plan théorique, l'hypnose a bénéficié des acquisitions des neurosciences, de la psychiatrie et des recherches dans le domaine de la communication. Soigner par l'hypnose présente les fondements ainsi que l'intérêt thérapeutique de l'hypnose : - la première partie de l'ouvrage expose les principes théoriques de la pratique de l'hypnothérapie (historique, techniques, atouts, limites) ; - la deuxième partie, plus pratique, est une «boîte à outils» thérapeutique (inductions, suggestions, stratégies) illustrée par de nombreux exemples ; - enfin, dans la troisième partie, les champs de signification de l'hypnose sont élargis à la psychothérapie, la psychiatrie, la physiologie de la mémoire et la sophrologie. Cette cinquième édition a été remaniée, mise à jour et enrichie de nouvelles acquisitions en hypnothérapie. C'est notamment le cas en ce qui concerne l'historique, le chapitre « Hypnose et thérapie familiale » et la boîte à outils (avec une technique intitulée le colloque invisible et une nouvelle approche de l'hypnose en groupe). L'appareil de notes et la bibliographie ont gagné plus d'une cinquantaine de nouvelles références liées aux développements contemporains de l'hypnothérapie.
