The utilization of hypnosis always involves the hypnotic phenomena. This session will explore the various phenomena and their role in clinical contexts. Participants will practice elicitation of hypnotic phenomena.
In this session, you will learn about trance phenomena, the experiential distortions that often accompany hypnosis. You will learn how and why to evoke them in induction and treatment.
Specific direct and indirect techniques are required to activate family resources and to induce a deep and meaningful change of the most rigid family patterns. A family hypnotic session tends to overcome the powerful and subtle resistances a family may develop in the course of the treatment as well as to offer many different solutions a therapist may adopt to overcome these resistances. Special focus will be how to combine properly direct and indirect in the different phases of the therapeutic process.

IC11 Short Course 37 - The Use of Hypnotic Phenomena for Test Anxiety: Brief Ericksonian Solutions at Work - Antonio Bustillo, PhD
This is a clinical presentation of a five step model for tailoring hypnotherapy interventions in test anxiety cases utilizing the client’s spontaneous trance phenomena, allowing the clinician’s ability to utilize and maximize the client’s internal resources based on his/her total life experience. Clinical cases will be presented of this hands-on approach of Erickson’s utilization philosophy.
Insight usually offers little help to clients willing to make changes in their lives or in their professional careers; being able to explore the experience of solving a dilemma is needed. This short course will explore effective therapeutic interventions to assist clients in breaking out the frustration circle and helping them bring about creative and adaptive choices by means of Ericksonian hypnosis and dyadic psychodramatic techniques like therapist sculpting and role reversal.
OCD affects an estimated 2-3% of the adult population and is recognized by therapists as a difficult and long-lasting disorder. A number of useful strategies for working with OCD will be presented in this workshop. The presenter will discuss B.B.Geary’s continua of the trance phenomena concept in the OCD treatment.
This workshop will present an elaborated perspective of dissociation that is designed to assist in therapeutic assessment and treatment planning. Dissociation in everyday life, in psychopathology, and in hypnotic phenomena will be explored.
Erickson's hand levitation and pantomime techniques have evolved into simple, easy to learn, activity-dependent approaches to therapeutic hypnosis, and are consistent with the theory and research of the current neuroscience on brain plasticity and the molecular genomic level of psychotherapy. Demonstrations with volunteers from the audience will illustrate.
Testing individual hypnotic susceptibility and suggestions of some phenomena of deep hypnosis will be demonstrated in the frame of reference of traditional hypnosis to be compared with the experience of Ericksonian hypnotists and subjects. The technique offered will be more directive and explicit than the Ericksonian tailored approaches and metaphors.
