Hypnosis in
Time-Limited Therapy:
Advanced Training in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy
The aim of this course, based on the ingenious hypnotherapy
of
Milton H. Erickson, M.D., is
to enable participants to increase the efficacy of using hypnotic techniques to
achieve clinical objectives. Participants will learn verbal and nonverbal
communication forms that create optimal trance and post-trance responses; learn to use
trance phenomena and multilevel symbolic communication; create advanced
induction procedures to bolster the process of hypnotherapy; and the use
“prehypnotic” suggestions, such as seeding, to increase effectiveness. Topic
areas include habit and pain control, phobias, and hypnotherapy with the
severely disturbed patient.
You also will see live demonstrations of actual hypnotherapy.
