IC01 Short Course 40 - Ericksonian Approaches to Weight Loss and Non-Smoking: Strategies to Enhance the "Psychology of Permanent Habit Control" - Brian Grodner, PhD
IC01 Short Course 37 - Integrating Two Psychotherapy Approaches with Different Philosophical Positions: Ericksonian Psychotherapy and Collaborative Language - Blanca Iris Corzo, MA
As an Ericksonian psychotherapist, how do I open up a space to new frameworks that propose
different and even opposite ideas, such as Ericksonian Psychotherapy and Collaborative
Language? A general review of the main points that define both approaches will be done in order
to know the differences and similarities of both approaches. This course is aimed at inviting
these two positions to co-exist effectively during the psychotherapeutic process.
IC01 Short Course 32 - Ericksonian and Educative Hypnotherapy: Communications - Bayard Galvao, Lie. Psychol.
What is communication? How does one communicate? How does one achieve an efficient
communication? How many types of communication are there? What are the implications of
each kind of communication? How can one use communication in psychotherapy and
hypnotherapy? how would Erickson use the so-called informal trance and hypnosis? The
answers to these questions raise other questions that are relevant; how much can be understood
when one understands communication?
IC01 Short Course 33 - Be Happy and Stop Smoking - Francine-Helene Samak, Dipl. Psych.
There are many methods to use to stop smoking, so why choose hypnosis? With hypnosis, it is
possible to help the client to respect his personality, way of life and his personal reasons which
brought him to smoke and now to stop smoking. We will proceed by walking in the shoes of
Milton H. Erickson and help people to stop smoking in a unique 5-step session.
This workshop presents a structured protocol for resolving repressed, suppressed or otherwise dated affect using ideomotor questioning. Essential to this model is a progressive ratification series that addresses affect, cognition and behavior. A questioning tree illustrates a Socratic means of affect inquiry. This non-invasive, brief procedure is a useful adjunct to other treatment modalities and instrumental in clarifying the focus of treatment.
IC01 Short Course 12 - The Relationship and Relevance of Dr. Rossi's Mind-Body Work to Other Therapeutic Modalities - Bruce Gregory, PhD
Over the past 20 years Dr. Rossi has innovatively expanded Ericksonian work by demonstrating
its connections to microbiology, chemistry, physics, chaos theory and mathematics. This course
will explore the relationship and relevance of Dr. Rossi's mind-body work to other forms of
psychotherapy. We will learn how mind-body work utilizes and integrates many of the core
processes used in the work of Winnecott, Klein, Jung, Gestalt, Masterson, Kohut and cognitive
therapy.
IC01 Short Course 13 - Working From the Inside Out - Dick Hatten, PhD
It is said Erickson invented a new theory for each patient. This requires working with the clients'
personal subjective experience (PSE). Imagine assuming that everything a person does makes
perfect sense, i.e. has an internal logic. Inventing a new theory requires "stepping inside" the
PSE to understand it and its logic. In this semi-experiential course, participants will learn
techniques for doing this and for working from the "inside, out" to effect therapeutic change.
IC01 Short Course 14 - Impact Therapy: A Multi-Sensory Approach to Counseling - Ed Jacobs, PhD
Impact therapy is a unique multi-sensory, active approach to counseling that integrates
counseling theories with creative counseling techniques. This approach accesses all the learning
styles of clients by putting both the counselor and client into action. Participants will learn simple,
creative techniques that use props (shields, filters, rubber bands, fuses), chairs, movement and
drawings to facilitate learning and retention.
