Courses
for Qualified Hypnotherapists or beginners
We can take you from beginner to qualified
hypnotherapist with a B.A. degree, or, if you have a hypnotherapy
qualification and/or a university degree or Master’s (in any field)
we can put you on a programme that either recognises your
hypnotherapy qualification and takes you to the next level of
degree, or provides distance hypnotherapy training as part of your
degree plan. You may enrol at any time of year.
The distance learning degrees available are:
· Bachelor
of Arts in Hypnotherapy (or in Counselling Psychology or other major
if preferred)
· Master
of Arts in Hypnotherapy (other majors possible)
· Doctor
of Clinical Hypnotherapy
· Psy.D.
(Doctor of Psychology) in Hypnotherapy and Counselling
· Ph.D.
in Hypnotherapy by research and dissertation
· Ph.D./C.A.G.S.
(Cert. of Adv. Graduate Studies) – taught plus project Ph.D.
programme.
In addition, for people who already have a Doctor of
Clinical Hypnotherapy, a Ph.D. or another acceptable doctorate,
there are two post-doctoral qualifications which are:
· Doctor
of Analytical Hypnotherapy (D.A.H.)
· Doctor
of Transpersonal Hypnosis (D.T.H.)
The Accelerated Bachelor’s
Degree
The Calamus Bachelor’s degree is by distance learning
only, and is meant for individuals who already have some previous
further or higher education or training. It is an accelerated
programme rather like second-year or third-year entry to a
conventional full-time degree. The student should have a range of
credit already. This can be from any field and can include
university credits, further education (e.g. vocational diplomas),
skilled work experience, and other documentable skilled experience
gained via hobbies, sports, military service, travel, charity or
voluntary work, etc. This way of building up a degree is similar to
the well-established American “Liberal Arts” system in which
students take general courses and specialise in their final year(s).
The final phase of the degree is made up by taking
Calamus taught distance learning units and a project is usually
required. Ongoing credit can also be given for achievements after
enrolment, which in the case of hypnotherapy, could include
completion of practical trainings, additional practical
trainings/workshops, supplementary complementary medicine trainings,
clinical practice, supervision, running groups, etc.
The exact major (title) of the Bachelor’s degree
would depend on the overall balance of your studies, and an
individualised syllabus is outlined for you drawing from core
hypnotherapy studies, areas of particular interest and topics such
as general psychology, counselling psychology and stress management.
The time taken to complete the advanced-entry
Bachelor’s degree can vary from a few months to about a year
depending on the amount of previous credit and the time you have
available.
For those who have insufficient previous credit, we
can give advice on how to attain a Bachelor’s degree within a
reasonable time, perhaps by incorporating a recommended diploma
course to bridge the gap. Please contact our admissions team in
confidence, by e-mail to
info@unicalamus.org
or by post to our London address, providing a copy of your
Curriculum Vitae or résumé.
If you have no Bachelor’s degree but would like
a Doctorate without studying for years
Many people without a Bachelor’s degree are put off
aiming for a Doctorate such as a Doctor of Clinical Hypnotherapy
because of the time they think the total study will take. CIU
offers various options that can allow you to achieve your Doctorate
more quickly. For example, we can enrol you directly into a joint
MA/DCH programme without a Bachelor’s degree, as long as we are
satisfied with your professional qualifications and academic
ability. For joint MA/DCH students, certain portions of the degrees
may overlap, and this together with credit from university-level
trainings or Board-approved CEUs, and credit from ongoing clinical
practice, supervision and/or teaching, can speed up your progress to
the doctorate.
Another possibility, if you have professional
qualifications (e.g. nursing, counselling, or social work plus
hypnotherapy qualification accredited by a major hypnotherapy body)
is that we can consider you for direct entry to a Doctorate.
Preferences for different
countries
The actual degree level you aim for might depend on
the country you are in and the general opinion in your professional
community about hypnotherapy degrees and doctorates. As a global
non-UK university, Calamus International University does not adhere
to the preferences of one country or professional society as opposed
to another. However we will give individual advice based upon your
unique situation.
In the UK, a Working Group for Hypnotherapy
Regulation has been set up and is working towards profession-wide
standards.
Professional Qualifications
Calamus hypnotherapy degrees are meant as additional
education for qualified and practising hypnotherapists, rather than
being qualifications in themselves to practise hypnotherapy. If you
wish to practise professionally, you will need to have whatever
level of professional training that is acceptable in your country or
state. However, such professional qualifications can be taken into
account for credit purposes towards a Calamus degree. If you are
starting from scratch, you can start your training with a
professional hypnotherapy school at the same time as you start your
Calamus degree, or some time later after first taking some Calamus
theory courses. We can advise degree students on possible classroom
trainings in the UK, US and Canada, and also about distance learning
hypnotherapy qualifications.
In the UK, you can look at the websites of the
following major professional bodies which will list hypnotherapy
training schools:

Course units for Calamus
International University-validated degrees
Please see the Calamus prospectus and course unit
list for details of the BA and MA Hypnotherapy and DCH (Doctor of
Clinical Hypnotherapy) degrees. Calamus also has various other
degree majors which are of interest to the hypnotherapist.
For the Calamus hypnotherapy degrees, credit is given
for appropriate prior qualifications, and an individualised syllabus
is designed for each student, drawing from hypnotherapy units and
also topics such as counselling, psychotherapy, NLP, energy
therapies, psychology, and subjects drawn from the whole range of
body-mind-spirit areas of study offered by CIU, subject to approval
and availability.
The Doctor of Clinical Hypnotherapy degree can also
draw from a wide range of topics.
The Doctor of Clinical Hypnotherapy is normally completed by taught
courses plus a project but it is possible in the case of suitably
experienced and well-qualified students to waive the project
requirement and allow completion by taught courses plus clinical
experience during the period of enrolment.
For all these programmes we are prepared to introduce
new course units wherever feasible in line with student’s specific
interests. These course units will, when created, be available for
future students.
Most course units use textbooks and students will
need to buy books (normally on-line from major Internet
bookstores). Our course units are based around many popular
textbooks by well-known authors and we can consider special requests
for new units to be built around books that you prefer.
Director of Studies
The Calamus director of studies for
Hypnotherapy is:
Morris Berg, BSc (Hons) Psychol., M.A., Psy.D., Ph.D.
(Hypnotherapy), D.C.H., D.T.H., Dip.THP, D.H.P., Dip. Clin. Hyp.,
A.D.C.H., C.Ht., Cert. Counselling, Accredited Past Life Healer,
Accredited Hypnotherapy Supervisor, NESTA-Certified® Sports
Hypnotist, Master Practitioner of NLP (USA), Master Practitioner of
NLP (UK), Dip. NLP Life Coaching, Diploma in Life Coaching, Reiki
Master, Seikhim Master, Member &/or Fellow of various professional
bodies in UK and USA.
Information included in compliance with the Working
Group for Hypnotherapy Regulation, UK: Morris Berg is not a
medical doctor. His Bachelor’s degree in Psychology is from the
University of East London, UK, and his higher degrees are from
several non-UK universities.
Hypnotherapy reading list
Study for a degree using your favourite
hypnotherapy textbooks
This list should be read in conjunction with the
Calamus prospectus, hypnotherapy subject brochure and course unit
list. The list includes the core text(s) required for CIU
hypnotherapy course units. The average textbook, together with the
relevant lesson plan we provide, forms the basis of a unit worth 3
academic credits.
Students for an accelerated Bachelor’s degree will
normally take 45 to 60 credits (15 to 20 course units) less any
allowance given for previous credit, ongoing clinical practice
and/or project. Students on a Master’s degree or DCH will normally
take 45 credits less similar allowances. The workload for a
post-doctoral qualification will depend on the student’s previous
qualifications.
An individual syllabus will be agreed using the
necessary number of course units selected from the ones in this
list, plus electives from other related or holistic fields such as
psychology, counselling, NLP, personal development, past lives,
regression/ reincarnation studies, metaphysics, parapsychology,
contemporary spirituality or other fields of particular interest to
the student. So this list does not
represent all the books you can choose!
A comprehensive introductory course in psychology is
normally included in the Bachelor’s degree syllabus unless the
student has taken psychology at Advanced Level or High School
Diploma level or at an equivalent course.
In the Calamus system, the code number of a unit is
not always indicative of the level of degree study. Students at any
level may take any unit subject to approval. Some units have
prerequisites and the course tutor will give appropriate advice when
the student has enrolled.
This list is not complete and some of the books may
have been released in later editions after this list was compiled.
Therefore students should not base their purchases on this list, but
they will be advised by their tutor after enrolment.
You are not required to read all these books for
your course! They represent a selection of key textbooks for most
of the possible course units available. The typical degree course
will require you to study 15 books plus any further reading of your
own choice.
