Hypnotic Communication in Emergency Medical Settings (EPUB)

This fascinating book demonstrates how hypnotic communication has the potential to improve patient outcomes in emergency care, integrating insights on the connection between mind and body for paramedics and other first responders.

Providing a step-by-step guide to using these skills around a range of contexts, from managing pain to cardiovascular emergencies to burns to respiratory distress, the book asks paramedics and first responders to become aware of what they say to patients, as well as how they say it. It offers ways to allow targeted communication to complement standard medical procedures, creating a symbiotic rapport that will provide the basis for an improved outcome for the patient.

Fully referenced and based on a robust range of evidence, the book is written by an active paramedic with over 20 years’ experience with a Ph.D. in Human Development with a focus on paramedic decision-making; and a professor with doctorates in Health Psychology and Education who field tested the skills as a professional EMT. This book will interest any professional working in emergency care, including paramedics, EMTs, trauma nurses, and psychiatric nurses.
