An organizational meeting to discuss and plan how we can best pursue research frontiers in the evolution of Ericksonian psychotherapy. Topics to be discussed include mind-body healing, the nature of suggestion, psychoneuroimmunology, and mathematical and phenomenological models of hypnotherapy.

This workshop will address how to elicit and systematically change core beliefs (schemas) with Axis II patients.

Ways to handle problems such as missed sessions, prolonging sessions, avoidance, and homework noncompliance will be addressed.
This workshop will present cognitive, experiential, and behavioral techniques for helping men and women to realize more of their human potential.

Live demonstrations will be offered.
This workshop will offer concepts and demonstrations which will help therapists best pay attention to the transition points between now and next.
