Unit number:     HYP 302-303   

Unit title:           Studies in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy/ Further Studies in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy

Credit value:      6 credits 

These two units must be taken together. They cannot be taken singly.

Description:      This unit presents a comprehensive course in basic and advanced Ericksonian hypnotherapy including some neo-Ericksonian techniques such as the basics of NLP.  The course may be used by experienced hypnotherapists as a refresher, a professional development course or as a bridging course for hypnotherapists not primarily trained in an Ericksonian style. Less experienced students will find that the course covers wide ground and will broaden the scope of hypnotherapy beyond basic techniques and introduce advanced applications and topics with clear clinical guidelines. This textbook-based course is not a hypnotherapy qualification on its own but acts as a preparatory or complementary course in conjunction with prior or ongoing professional qualifications and training.

Topics covered in the course include: history, myths & misconceptions of hypnosis; different induction styles; rapport with NLP; NLP language forms; non-trance hypnotherapy; ideodynamic and ideomotor responses; basic and advanced metaphor; the arts as metaphors; eight-step model; clinical and medical applications of hypnotherapy; dental hypnotherapy (these techniques can also have non-dental applications); hypnosis with special populations; substance abuse; life-challenging diseases; ethics and abuse of hypnotherapy; psychobiology and ultradian rhythms; ideodynamic healing; consciousness and spirit; beyond trance -  final observations.

Prerequisite:      A basic grounding in hypnotherapeutic inductions and techniques. 

Key textbook:    Battino, Rubin and South, Thomas L.  Ericksonian Approaches: A Comprehensive Manual.  Second Edition. Crown House Publishing, 2005.

Comments:       

This unit is not in itself a training or qualification in hypnotherapy.
