[Audio Only] BT08 Workshop 27 – Using Hypnosis in a Brief Therapy Workshop – Stephen Lankton, MSW, DAHB

Description:

Research shows that brief treatments paired with hypnosis is more effective than treatments alone for many types of problems. The science and art of hypnosis is now widely recognized as a component tool for psychotherapy and has been employed successfully as a comfortable part of private practice and agency practice for years. As hypnosis spreads throughout the mainstream of psychotherapy, it is important to get competent information regarding its use. This workshop is intended to correct any lack of understanding and training in this important area. The rationale, indications and basic use will be explained and demonstrated with practical exercises to help convey the key language skills that are requisite.

Educational Objectives:

1. To describe how hypnosis is introduced in brief therapy.
2. To list three areas where the use of hypnosis can benefit the common practice of psychotherapy.
