Hypnosis and Weight Management
Deirdre Barrett, PhD
Psychological interventions are powerful tools in weight loss and weight control programs, facilitating enhanced awareness and control of eating behaviors. Research has found that two techniques are the most effective in helping people to lose weight: 1) cognitive/ behavioral strategies and 2) hypnosis/imagery/visualization. Studies on large groups of people find that combining the two techniques is most effective; however some individuals are helped more by one or the other. Dr. Barrett will discuss the use of various techniques with differing individuals.
Deirdre Barrett, Ph.D. is a psychologist on the faculty of The Cambridge Health Alliance and Harvard Medical School’s Behavioral Medicine Program. She is Past President of both the International Association for the Study of Dreams and the American Psychological Association’s Div. 30, The Society for Psychological Hypnosis. Dr. Barrett has written three books: The Committee of Sleep (Random House, 2001); The Pregnant Man and Other Cases from a Hypnotherapist’s Couch (Random House, 1998); and Waistland (Norton, 2007). She is the editor of two additional books, The New Science of Dreaming (Praeger/Greenwood, 2007) and Trauma and Dreams (Harvard University Press, 1996).

Pediatric Hypnosis in the Hospital and in the Office
Robert Deutsch, PhD
Hypnosis can play an integral role when teaching children and
family members how to help themselves increase comfort, heal, and empower
themselves. Whether in a private practice office or hospital setting, there are
myriaf applications where the integration of a hypnotic intervention and the
teaching of self-hypnosis provide a significant advantage in the treatment
experience for kids, families, and staff as well. Dr. Deutsch will provide an
overview of pediatric hypnosis, followed by several video presentations of
children helped by hypnosis. The multi-media presentations will include
the integration of pediatric hypnosis in a variety of challenging situations
experienced by kids and their family members, including sleep difficulty,
attentional difficulty, anxiety and pain management, palliative care, and
end-of-life care.
