2012 Spring Conference: Presenting...

Assen Alladin, Ph.D.: Integrating CBT, Hypnosis and Mindfulness in the Management of Depression

As depression represents a complex set of heterogeneous symptoms, involving multiple etiologies, there is no “one-size-fits-all” treatment for the disorder. Moreover, treating depression can be challenging to any therapist. It is thus important for clinicians to promote a multimodal approach to treatment, drawing evidence-based therapeutic techniques from a variety of theoretical orientations. This hand on workshop will provide the scientific rationale for integrating cognitive, hypnotic, psychodynamic (unconscious) and mindfulness strategies in the management of clinical depression. 

 

Jon Amundson, Ph.D.: Hypnosis - Royal Road to Self-Regulation: Practical Applications and Why They are Justified

This workshop will focus upon the role hypnosis plays in self-regulation. “Self-Regulation” is a term of convenience used to describe general capacity to manage normative and extra-ordinary biosocial demands of day to day life.

Discussion regarding underlying biological mechanisms of self-regulation and by extension “dysregulation” will be discussed. In addition a variety of inductive methods will be explored, especially rapid and indirect means.

This 20-hour structured workshop consists of lectures, demonstrations, videos of expert hypnotherapists’, small group (4-6) practice, and written material. The Introductory workshop is needed for both membership in the CFCH and to attend any of the above (intermediate or advanced) workshops.
