Clinical Hypnosis & Scientific Research: 100 Psychotherapeutic Applications

19 Juni 2016 17:28

“Hypnosis is not a type of therapy, like psychoanalysis or behavior therapy. Instead, it is a procedure that can be used to facilitate therapy. It is the opinion of the authors of this statement that because it is not a treatment in and of itself, training in hypnosis is not sufficient for the conduct of therapy; rather, clinical hypnosis should be used only by properly trained and credentialed health care professionals (e.g. licensed clinical psychologists), who have also been trained in the clinical use of hypnosis and are working within the areas of their professional expertise.

Hypnosis has been used in the treatment of pain, depression, anxiety, stress, habit disorders, and many other psychological and medical problems. However, it may not be useful for all psychological problems or for all patients or clients. Again, it is the opinion of the authors of this statement that the decision to use hypnosis as an adjunct to treatment can only be made in consultation with a qualified health care provider who has been trained in the use and limitations of clinical hypnosis.”

I. INTRODUCTION

Hypnosis is one of the oldest methods of treating diseases and dates back to ancient Egypt. Under numerous labels, Hypnosis has been practiced in different cultures since time immemorial. For example, the Ebers Papers, one of the oldest human writings known, dated 300 BC, describes the therapeutic use of Hypnosis in the effective treatment of several illnesses. For over 200 years, since the recognized beginnings of Clinical Hypnosis in the work of Anton Mesmer, under the name of ‘Animal Magnetism’, there has been a continuing ‘controversy’ about its scientific basis and applications in medicine or psychotherapy. Hypnotherapy has probably been praised and decried more than any other medical or therapeutic treatment. When average people and many mental health professionals think about Hypnosis a lot of misconceptions, myths, commonplaces, false ideas and tales cross their minds. There are many prejudices about Hypnosis that have been impressed on scientific community by books, movies and television shows. Hypnosis, therefore, has been associated in the minds of many people with control and the super natural. Few therapeutic procedures are less understood and more plagued by misconceptions and misunderstandings than Hypnotherapy. To quote Dave Elman, “People have invested Hypnosis with a lot of false ideas. It is perhaps one of the most beautiful states that God has made possible to mankind and this beautiful state contains nature’s own anesthesia which God makes available to everyone of us. When you’re taught to look at hypnosis properly, you see it as a very beautiful and wonderful thing.”  Although Clinical Hypnosis is not a ‘panacea’, it has helped thousands of people in many areas of their lives. Unfortunately, because of fears and misconceptions, many people and mental health professionals are ‘reluctant’ to contemplate Hypnotherapy as an effective therapeutic tool in mental health care.

The essence of the psychotherapeutic process is personal growth and transformation. As a science and an art dedicated to eliminate mental disorders and devoted to personal change and development, contemporary psychotherapy brings together the findings and resources of many disciplines, approaches, and theoric models. Today, there is a strong tendency to integrate different therapeutic modalities, strategies and clinical tools in the promise of achieving more dramatic psychotherapeutic changes. Comprehensive or global approaches are likely to be considered, based on the premise that one therapeutic tool need not displace another. It is not uncommon, for example, to see a client engaged in Cognitive-Behavioral psychotherapy also be concomitantly treated by hypnotic strategies or even psychiatric medications.

Although Hypnotherapy is not a treatment per se, but the framework in which treatment can more effectively be carried out. Probably, the ‘future’ of Clinical Hypnosis will likely witness studies of its usefulness as an extraordinary ‘facilitator’ to other psychotherapeutic models, especially the cognitive-behavioral model. As an adjunct to psychotherapy, Hypnosis can help clients enter a trance state in order to achieve more easily numerous psychotherapeutic outcomes and stimulate personal growth.

Hypnotherapy is the art and science of using specific communication patterns (verbal and non-verbal) to assist another person in entering an altered state of consciousness in order to facilitate or promote a personal change. The practice of Hypnotherapy has no rigid formula. Hypnosis, as an effective psychotherapeutic tool, may be used in the early (investigative-diagnostic), middle (working through), or final (transition-termination) stages of the psychotherapeutic process. The results and potential value of Clinical Hypnosis is the consequence of the combination of the following key factors:

1) The client’s personality and character (beliefs, thinking styles, values...)

2) The hypnotist’s skills / experience with Clinical Hypnosis and psychotherapy.

3) The type of relationship (rapport) between the client and the professional.

4) The type of induction procedures and suggestions that are used with the client.

5) The context where the ‘hypnotic interaction’ is occurring.

While techniques, strategies and procedures for inducing trance states and forming specific suggestions can be easily learned, other key skills and knowledge are necessary in order to use Clinical Hypnosis as a safe and effective therapeutic tool. According to the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, Clinical Hypnosis cannot, and should not, stand alone as the unique psychological intervention for any disorder. Anyone who can read an Hypnotic script with some degree of expression can learn how to ‘hypnotize’ someone. However, a client with a mental disorder should consult a qualified mental health professional for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. Only a mental health professional is in the best position to decide with the patient whether Hypnosis is indicated and, if it is, how it might be incorporated into the psychotherapeutic process.

The following is a basic selection of 100 psychotherapeutic applications of Clinical Hypnosis based on recent scientific research and selected bibliography...

XI.-CONCLUSION

According to a study published in the 1996 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, 79% of the interviewed physicians and 67% of residents had no prior training in Hypnotherapy and even fewer experienced Clinical Hypnosis. However, the ‘good news’ is that 85% of these professionals expressed an ‘interest’ in Clinical Hypnosis education.

We are seeing a shift in health care from a total dependence on the classical or medical model, to a more holistic approach that embraces many alternative forms and strategies of healing, including Clinical Hypnosis and its potential applications in psychotherapy. This ‘shift’ is coming both from within the scientific community, and from the average people, with recent studies showing that as many as 40% to 50 % of individuals have tried alternative or complementary procedures and strategies of treatment.

At the same time, and this is seen in the increasing volume of scientific reports dealing with Clinical Hypnosis and its applications in Mental Health, there is widening scientific acceptance of its therapeutic potential in many mental disorders. The American Medical Association (AMA), The American Psychiatric Association (APA), and the British Medical Association (BMA) have all recognized Clinical Hypnosis as a viable therapeutic tool.

Since its formal birth as a ‘science’, Hypnosis has shown a cyclical evolution with fluctuating levels of interest (and respect) from the scientific community. Hypnotherapy has evolved through a series of research, trial and error, and the application of numerous theories and practices that brought about conclusions.

Today, there are many ‘unresolved’ issues, enigmas and questions concerning the real nature of the Hypnotic phenomena. The continuos and endless search for a unified theory framework has been controversial. Even with the impressive advances in the understanding of psychological and physiological mechanisms involved during hypnotic interaction, theories and models of hypnosis are remarkably numerous, divergent, and contradictories.

Hypnosis knowledge is still evolving and growing as scientists learn and investigate the brain mechanisms more in-depth. It is obvious that we have not realized the full capacity of the human mind and its functioning. Although the manifestations and capabilities of Hypnosis have received increasing acknowledgment, the essence of its key mechanisms remains difficult to discover and define. Today, however,

Hypnotherapy appears to be firmly implanted as a therapeutic tool, and its future is likely to witness its progressive maturation in its varied applications to the wide spectrum of psychotherapeutic practice.

While hypnotherapy is not a cure-all for all psychological and non-psychological disorders its therapeutic use has shown dramatic and significant results. More and more mental health professionals now ‘embrace’ hypnosis, as an effective clinical tool, for a wide variety of mental health problems. Clinical hypnosis offers practitioners the ability to effect change for the better in some of their most difficult and defiant clients.

Hypnosis is a therapeutic approach that is often underutilized, to the disadvantage of both clients and mental health professionals. In view of these considerations, it’s more than evident that hypnosis presents fascinating opportunities for medical and psychotherapeutic research. Today we see applications of clinical hypnosis in virtually every health care field. It is being taught at an ever-growing number of universities and postgraduate training centers.

Hypnosis and its uses in the practice of psychotherapy is rapidly growing and emerging as a highly effective therapeutic approach in solving the health problems of many individuals. Aside from these very tangible promises, the psychological and physiological mechanisms responsible for the vast array of hypnotic phenomena, once fully understood, can open key insights, new opportunities and future psychotherapeutic applications, not only into the most intimate connections of mind-body healing, but into the real nature of consciousness itself.
