PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
1. Introduction to Medical Hypnoanalysis
How significant are emotions and our belief systems in the
development of physical and emotional illness? Can traumatic events
and past experiences influence susceptibility to mental and stress
related disorders? Medical hypnoanalysis is a treatment approach
that follows a medical model of psychotherapy. The emphasis is on
causes rather than symptoms and symptom alleviation directed
towards resolving underlying subconscious causes. Treatment
strategies utilizing analytical hypnosis will be reviewed including
consultation, diagnosis, dream analysis, age regression with applica-
tion for psychoneurosis, depression, sexual disorders and phobias.
Case examples will also be presented. This course will be of interest
to physicians, nurses, and mental health professionals.
