IC92 Clinical Demonstration 11 - Accessing the Imaginal World - Joseph Barber, PhD
Original Program Date :
Dec 04, 1992 (PST)
Length: 57:09
Description: This clinical demonstration explores how imaginal work and hypnotic absorption can help transform interview anxiety and performance self-doubt. Through imagery, movement, and symbolic experience, the session follows a participant as she confronts fears about visibility, control, and being “too much” in competitive academic settings. Participants see how imagination can loosen internal constraints, restore confidence, and support a more flexible, authentic presence under pressure.
Joseph Barber, PhD
Joseph Barber, PhD, is an award-winning author on the topic of pain management, and a former President of the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. One of the most prominent trends in the field of health and wellness is the growing awareness of the mind-body approach. However, along with the enthusiasm we are sometimes led to hasty conclusions and broad generalizations that sometimes lead to disappointment and disinterest in the field. In his provocative, challenging and often amusing presentation, Dr. Barber looks at controversial claims made in the mind-body field. He separates the fads and fallacies from a scientifically supported understanding of powers of the mind.
