The perfect foundation text for utilization of hypnosis, and suggestion for pain relief. This text will take you through background studies in pain relief, as well as the laboratory results of the Hilgard's own research. Very informative, many graphs, and statistical data are provided for the scientifically inclined. This book is a cornerstone in any practitioner's library.

I can learn the basic of the psychology from this book since this is the textbook of my college!

We used this textbook for my AP Psychology class, and it served its purpose well. The book does an excellent job at covering everything and giving an introduction to the field. Plenty of good examples, as well as diagrams and such to help explain, are given. My only complaint is that the text is often incredibly dry, making reading difficult; but if you can look past that, it provides a very good "introduction to psychology", as the title says it will.

Just as the authors said, 'The Tradition Continues', this work explains every aspects and perspective of Psychology to me in depth. I think this is a 'must-have' for all beginning Psychology students.
