IC01 Short Course 40 - Ericksonian Approaches to Weight Loss and Non-Smoking: Strategies to Enhance the "Psychology of Permanent Habit Control" - Brian Grodner, PhD
During the past several years, we have developed strategies for inducing people to persuade themselves to change dysfunctional attitudes and behavior. Compared with more traditional, direct techniques of persuasion like advertising, self-persuasion produces more powerful, more permanent effects. Specific reference will be made to our research on reducing racial prejudice in schools and risky sexual behavior in young adults.
The Basic Accessing Question is a simple fail-safe approach to accessing inner resources and creative problem solving by the patient with a minimum of suggestion by the therapist.
