Description
Description:
Clinicians who practice hypnosis must be familiar with its legal and ethical boundaries. In recent years, courts have paid increasing attention to the clinical and forensic use of hypnosis. Many lawyers have targeted hypnosis as what they call an “experimental and dangerous” type of treatment. We will discuss how therapists may simultaneously protect the legal rights of their patients, and may protect themselves from lawsuits. In addressing current clinical concerns, we will examine the rich and colorful history of hypnosis as it relates to law.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe the five areas where law and hypnosis intersect.
- To describe a risk management plan that will enable clinicians to use hypnosis competently, ethically and within the boundaries of law.
