55th Annual Basic Workshop: Hypnosis in Clinical Hypnosis

November 10-14, 2010

The New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis, Bournewood Hospital and the Institute for Continuing Education  will co-sponsor the 55th Annual Basic Workshop on November 10-14 at the Boston Hyatt Harbroside Hotel in conjunction with the Society for Clinical & Experimental Hypnosis.

Objective

Participants in the four-day Basic Section November 10-14 will learn how to use hypnosis to resolve problems of anxiety, pain, and maladaptive habits. Upon completion of the full curriculum, participants will be prepared to use hypnosis in their own clinical practice of medicine, dentistry, psychotherapy, and allied health professions.
 

Structure

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 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.
