IC19 Fundamentals of Hypnosis 05 - Dissociation and Automaticity in Hypnosis as Therapeutic Allies - Michael Yapko, PhD
Original Program Date :
Description:
A primary feature of hypnosis is dissociation, defined as the breaking of global experiences into their component parts. Dissociation gives rise to some of the most fascinating practical aspects of hypnosis in clinical contexts, such as pain management and the revivification of memories. Dissociation also paves the way for suggested responses to arise seemingly spontaneously, an enormously advantageous phenomenon called automaticity. In this workshop, we will consider the therapeutic roles of dissociation and automaticity and conduct an exercise in generating an “automatic” response.
Educational Objectives:
- Define and discuss the role of dissociation in hypnotic responding.
- Describe the experience of therapeutic dissociations to automaticity in clinical responsiveness.
- Sequence a hypnosis session to generate an automatic response.
