Unit number:     HYP 345   

Unit title:           Working with Trance

Credit value:      4.5 credits

Description:       This unit is a complete and comprehensive theoretical course in clinical hypnotherapy (techniques are taught but there is no clinical practice). The course may be used as a preparation for attending a local hands-on training; as a revision and updating of knowledge for experienced hypnotherapists; to acquire knowledge of psychology of hypnosis; for professional development at all levels; as partial preparation for studying for a research Ph.D. in hypnotherapy; and as a resource for hypnotherapy trainers and educators. Attention is given to important information every professional hypnotherapist should study such as: misconceptions of hypnosis, models of hypnosis, the role of the brain, applications of hypnotherapy; social psychology and suggestibility; consciousness and the unconscious, hypnotizability; phenomenology of hypnosis; testing hypnotic responsiveness; structuring suggestions; induction strategies, hypnotic phenomena; designing interventions; hypnosis in psychotherapy; hypnotic hazards; resistance; ethical guidelines. A serious case study with verbatim transcript, commentary and analysis is included.  This unit could provide the information that was missing from your practical training – the textbook will be an essential reference and hypnotherapists at all levels who are not already fully acquainted with the key text will benefit from taking this course.

Key textbook:   Yapko, Michael D.  Trancework: An Introduction to the Practice of Clinical Hypnosis (3rd edition). New York and Hove: Brunner-Routledge, 2003.
