In June I vented my ire at the anti-hypnosis movement: all those hypnotherapists who claim that hypnosis is a state of relaxation in which you can't be made to do anything you wouldn't usually do.

We looked at an open letter from a hypno Dr bemoaning his lack of successful results, and the response of the professional hypnotherapy community. The we looked at a paper on Memory Focused Interventions that's a useful digest of the literature on memory as it relates to hypnosis (although, sadly, whilst the paper presents itself as research it is really only anecdotal - and rather lacking in hypnotism). 

And then I explained why I think Milton Erickson is to blame for all these anti-hypnosis hypnotherapists.

After which we looked at the implications of the Canadian Supreme Court's findings in R. v Trochym for forensic hypnosis.

And then I demonstrated a couple of rapid inductions and taught my Blotting Paper protocol.

The November '07 session was filmed and a DVD of Hypnotism for Hypnotherapists is available. I'm going to be holding a teach-in on the 'Clinical Hypnotism' section of the DVD in the September 2009 GCS-H.

You can read feedback from previous participants, here.
