Basic Section

The Basic Section will be held September 20-21 and October 11-12, 2008 at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This four-day course will provide a foundation for understanding hypnotic trance phenomena and the utilization of hypnotic trance in clinical practice. Topic areas in healthcare to be covered will include anxiety management, habit control, and acute and procedural pain. This is an intensive Workshop which is designed to equip clinicians to immediately begin using hypnosis after completion of the full curriculum. Participants should be prepared to personally experience hypnotic trance phenomena, and to extensively practice trance inductions in supervised small groups.


Participants will learn:

(1.) a conceptual foundation for understanding hypnotic trance phenomena.
(2.) to assess patients for suitability for hypnotherapy.
(3.) to use different techniques of hypnotic trance induction.
(4.) to utilize hypnotic trance phenomena for symptom resolution.

Learning hypnosis requires mastery of both theoretical material and practical skills. Learning formats will include fourteen hours of lectures and demonstrations, and fourteen hours practicing hypnotic skills in small groups (closely supervised by senior faculty). Participants will be expected to practice their emerging skills in the intervening three weeks between weekend sessions.

In the second weekend, October 11-12, there will be an opportunity for participants to discuss and learn from their experiences during the intervening two weeks. Additional lectures/demonstrations and skill practice in small groups will be offered. Attendance is expected at both weekend sessions and will offer 28 hours of CEU/CME credit.
