The Delicate Process and Relational Style of Solution Focused Brief Therapy: Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Resemblances in SFBT by Annette BoVee-Akyurek A Dissertation Presented to the College of Arts, Humanities, & Social Sciences In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Nova Southeastern University 2017 Copyright by Annette BoVee-Akyurek June 2017 Acknowledgments There have been many people who assisted me along the way in completion of my dissertation, and I would like to share my appreciation and gratitude. It has truly been a journey, different than many of my past works, and the assistance has been forever valuable. The process began with Dr. Douglas Flemons and his knowledge of Ericksonian hypnotherapy, which has greatly influenced me. He assisted me in exploring my topic with several twists and turns, facilitating my thinking processes delicately and with care. This process was valuable for my next step as I joined my chair, Dr. Kara Erolin, in putting my study together, working in collaboration with my thought processes and writings, and graciously supporting my intended pace throughout the process. Dr. Ron Chenail was a valuable contributor with his “3-D” ability to explore the concepts, his expertise in qualitative analysis, and his influence to open my eyes to the beautiful work of Insoo Kim Berg and Steve de Shazer’s solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) approach. Dr. Jim Hibel was valuable in bringing forth his ideas and posing questions that were not apparent through my lens. He invited a different perspective that influenced my presentation of ideas. I thank you all for supporting my intentions and helping move me forward in this process. My appreciation and gratitude includes the influence of the professors in the Department of Family Therapy at Nova Southeastern University, who expanded my awareness even further into a true systemic and relational mindset. This includes my coursework, as well as my practical training. When I served as supervisor assistant to Dr. Arlene Gordon, she graciously shared her knowledge, expertise as an SFBT practitioner, and personal relationship with Insoo Kim Berg, and this greatly influenced my practice. iv Dr. Douglas Flemons has notably influenced my understanding and practice of Ericksonian hypnotherapy and significantly influenced my present work. In addition, I must note the beautiful support and patience I received from my friends and family, who supported my goals and believed I would attain them. My husband took on the financial costs, as I worked at a minimum to complete in a timely manner, checking up on me with a periodic, “How’s it going?” I acknowledge my daughters, who graciously moved through their lives successfully with few complaints that their mommy was always busy, and who encouraged me with the occasional, “Good job, mommy!” My parents and siblings supported me with the forever notion of, “You can do this!” My beautiful and dear friends continually stated, “You got this!” and my animals were by my side while I worked diligently at my desk. I have appreciation and gratitude for the ability to have access to Florida’s beautiful beaches, which have greatly influenced and facilitated my internal wisdom and resources, as well as my thinking processes during the development and construction of my dissertation. I am also grateful to have the ability to exercise, meditate, and practice yoga, an asset to staying centered, focused, and maintaining my drive to move forward. As I moved through this dissertation, I became fond of Milton Erickson, Insoo Kim Berg, and Steve de Shazer in their efforts and contributions to the field of psychotherapy. I feel fortunate that they have greatly influenced my work, and I hope to be one of many to carry on the intent of their approaches. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Pages Acknowledgments

Barber Copyright © 1991 by Basic Books All Rights Reserved Created in the United States of America Contents ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT SELECTION OF PATIENTS THE GOAL OF TREATMENT THEORY OF CHANGE TECHNIQUES CASE EXAMPLE EMPIRICAL SUPPORT CONCLUSION References 4 Time Limited Psychotherapy ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT In 1962 the outpatient department of the division of psychiatry at the Boston University School of Medicine had too few professional therapists to provide for a growing list of patients awaiting assignment. Because the outpatient department was staffed by psychiatry residents at the time, the problem became mine as director of psychiatric education. Not unexpectedly, a review disclosed that a significant number of patients were being seen regularly over long periods of time, even for years. Since they were being treated by residents who rotated from one psychiatric service to another every six months their treatment was interrupted twice a year. An examination of the records of some of these long-term patients revealed that, although they apparently related well to their new therapists, they tended to reexamine with each therapist much of what had already been discussed. Further, we noted that these patients did not appear to react strongly to the loss of the previous therapist; thus, we wondered whether transference to the institution and to the outpatient department had become more significant than transference to the therapist. It would seem that patients could go on forever, having their dependent needs well gratified— although their best interests would not be served.

  • Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy: a Guide to Clinical Practice
    1 From: Levenson, H. (1995). Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy: A Guide to Clinical Practice. New York: Basic Books, pp 48-56. CHAPTER IV CASE FORMULATION: FINDING A FOCUS Case Formulation in TLDP The major concept that distinguishes brief dynamic psychotherapy approaches from long-term psychotherapy is the limited focus of the treatment. Brief therapists need a central theme, topic, or problem to serve as a guide so they will be able to stay on target--a necessity when time is of the essence. Brief therapists cannot pay attention to all clinical data; even fascinating clinical material must sometimes be ignored. Practitioners working with short term models must learn to use selective attention (Malan, 1963) and benign neglect (Pumpian-Mindlin, 1953), or run the risk of being overwhelmed by the patient's rich intrapsychic and interpersonal life. But how does one discern a "focus" for the therapeutic work? Are we talking about the patient's presenting complaint? For example, "I don't want to be unhappy any more." Or are we referring to a specific behavior? "I have trouble speaking up in a room full of people." Or is it a circumscribed problem? "I am too intimidated by authority figures." In TLDP the focus for the therapeutic work is the recurrent interpersonal patterns that create and maintain dysfunctional relationships in the patient's life; these in turn are thought to lead to symptoms and problems in living. In other words, the TLDP focus is the maladaptive, interactive style of the patient. Given such a large and inclusive focus, how does one go about identifying this "style?" In the past psychodynamic brief therapists used their intuition, insight, and clinical savvy to devise formulations of cases.

    Solution Focused Therapy Treatment Manual for Working with Individuals 2nd Version*© Solution Focused Brief Therapy Association July 1, 2013 Contributors Janet Bavelas Peter De Jong Cynthia Franklin Adam Froerer Wallace Gingerich Johnny Kim Harry Korman Stephen Langer Mo Yee Lee Eric E. McCollum Sara Smock Jordan Terry S. Trepper ______________________________________________________________________________ * This document will continually be revised to reflect updates in clinical practice and research relevant to SFBT. © Copyright 2013 SFBTA. 2 OVERVIEW, DESCRIPTION, AND RATIONALE The purpose of this Preliminary Treatment Manual is to offer an overview of the general structure of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). This manual will follow the standardized format and include each of the components recommended by Carroll and Nuro (1997). The following sections are included: (a) overview, description and rationale of SFBT; (b) goals and goal setting in SFBT; (c) how SFBT is contrasted with other treatments; (d) specific active ingredients and therapist behaviors in SFBT; (e) nature of the client-therapist relationship in SFBT; (f) format; (g) session format and content; (g) compatibility with adjunctive therapies; (h) target population; (i) meeting needs of special populations; (j) therapist characteristics and requirements; (j) therapist training; and (k) supervision. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is based on over twenty-five years of theoretical development, clinical practice, and empirical research (e.g., de Shazer et al.,1986; Berg & Miller, 1992; Berg, 1994; De Jong & Berg, 2008; de Shazer, et al., 2007). Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is different in many ways from traditional approaches to treatment. It is a competency-based and resource-based model, which minimizes emphasis on past failings and problems, and instead focuses on clients’ strengths, and previous and future successes.

  • The Future Orientation of Constructive Memory: an Evolutionary Perspective on Therapeutic Hypnosis and Brief Psychotherapy
    American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis Copyright ©2008 by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis 50:4, April 2008 The Future Orientation of Constructive Memory: An Evolutionary Perspective on Therapeutic Hypnosis and Brief Psychotherapy Ernest Rossi, Roxanna Erickson-Klein, and Kathryn Rossi Abstract We explore a new distinction between the future, prospective memory system being investigated in current neuroscience and the past, retrospective memory system, which was the original theoretical foundation of therapeutic hypnosis, classical psychoanalysis, and psychotherapy. We then generalize a current evolutionary theory of sleep and dreaming, which focuses on the future, prospective memory system, to conceptualize a new evolutionary perspective on therapeutic hypnosis and brief psychotherapy. The implication of current neuroscience research is that activity-dependent gene expression and brain plasticity are the psychobiological basis of adaptive behavior, consciousness, and creativity in everyday life as well as psychotherapy. We summarize a case illustrating how this evolutionary perspective can be used to quickly resolve problems with past obstructive procrastination in school to facilitate current and future academic success. Keywords: Brain plasticity, consciousness, creativity, evolution, gene expression, constructive memory, permissive suggestion. For 200 years, hypnosis has explored memory in studies that have traditionally focused on its role in preserving and recovering the past. Neuroscientists, by contrast, are now documenting
