Emphasizing dissociation, selective attention, and suggestion, it highlights how hypnosis deepens cognitive and experiential shifts across contexts such as pain management, depression, and memory work. Participants gain a framework for integrating formal and informal hypnosis into their practice, using it not as a therapy in itself but as a powerful way to deliver ideas, evoke resources, and strengthen therapeutic outcomes .

- Short Description:
- Ericksonian psychotherapy emphasizes the utilization of people's resources. When working with children of divorced parents, I focus on strengths and keep in mind the Ericksonian interventions should be brief because children may get tired of being in therapy for a long time. In a case with two children, techniques including the use of toys will be discussed. How to make several brief interventions quickly while utilizing "toy co-therapists" in home assignments, and the combination of conversational trance with tasks will be emphasized. There also will be references to the importance of working with the family system.

- The Gottmans will review research that shows that when the first baby arrives, up to 67% of couples go through a tragic deterioration in the quality of their relationship, which usually begins the cascade toward divorce. Their research outlines the consistent phenomena in this transition, and how the minority of marriages do manage to succeed in avoiding this tragedy. The Gottmans will describe a new approach to the problem and present the results of randomized clinical trial preventative intervention with one-year follow-up data on that intervention.
