Description

During the last 10 years, the mission of the Erickson Foundation has been to promote and advance the work of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. (1901-1980). For this volume we solicited the six invited faculty of the tenth anniversary conference to select their favorite videotaped demonstration and comment upon it. The six faculty members are Joseph Barber, Ph. D., Stephen G. Gilligan, Ph. D., Stephen R. Lankton. M.S.W., William Hudson O’Hanlon, M.S., Ernest L. Rossi, Ph.D., and Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D. For added perspective, we also asked each faculty member to comment on another faculty member’s demonstration. The chapters in the volume were not subject to the normal editorial board review process but, rather, represent the complete and unabridged transcriptions for those demonstrations and the 12 commentaries: 1. Joseph Barber, “The First Session with Dr, B” (1984), with additional commentary by Stephen R. Lankton; 2. Stephen Gilligan, “Accessing Unconscious Processes” (1982), with additional commentary by Jeffrey K. Zeig; 3. Stephen R. Lankton, “Motivating Action with Hypnotherapy for a client with a History of Early Family Violence” (1988), with additional commentary by Joseph Barber; 4. Willian Hudson O’Hanlon, “Solution-Oriented Hypnosis (1988), with additional commentary by Ernest L. Rossi; 5. Ernest L. Rossi, “Facilitating ‘Creative Moments’ in Hypnotherapy” (1985), with additional commentary by Stephen Gilligan; 6. Jeffrey K. Zeig, “Using Metaphor and the Interspersal Technique” (1984), with additional commentary by William H. O’Hanlon.

Hypnosis coures

Hypnosis is a human condition involving focused attention, reduced peripheral awareness, and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestiom.

There are competing theories explaining hypnosis and related phenomena.
Altered state theories see hypnosis as an altered state of mind or trance, marked by a level of awareness different from the ordinary state of consciousness.
In contrast, nonstate theories see hypnosis as, variously, a type of placebo effect, a redefinition of an interaction with a therapist or form of imaginative role enactment.

During hypnosis, a person is said to have heightened focus and concentration.
Hypnotized subjects are said to show an increased response to suggestions.
Hypnosis usually begins with a hypnotic induction involving a series of preliminary instructions and suggestion.
The use of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes is referred to as “hypnotherapy”, while its use as a form of entertainment for an audience is known as “stage hypnosis”.
Stage hypnosis is often performed by mentalists practicing the art form of mentalism.
