The CSCH-OD Fundamentals of Clinical Hypnosis Workshop provides clinical training in both the theory and application of hypnosis in the clinical practice of medicine and psychotherapy for those who have never practiced hypnosis or who wish to refresh their foundational skills.
Based on evidence-based best practices, the workshop uses a combined format of lecture, demonstration, and supervision to develop clinical hypnosis skills.
Participants will be taught how to present hypnosis to a patient, how to do some different hypnotic inductions, and how to apply these in their practices.
Participants will practice in small group sessions with individualized supervision, leading to the development of selected skills.
This will be a highly interactive two days, with a minimum of 25% of workshop time spent in question and answer discussions, learning from case vignettes, video, and live demonstrations, and practice of
induction techniques.
Please note: There is pre-workshop reading and a follow-up assignment for this workshop.
Participants write a one-page summary of the use of hypnosis in their own practice and then submit it to a “mentor”.
The mentor provides constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement.
Participants are invited to attend a 90-minute post-workshop conference, scheduled 1-2 months after the workshop.
Student applicants must provide supporting documentation. Please review the eligibility requirements before you register.
