The course was taught by George W. Kisker, author of The Disorganized Personality (Kisker, 1972). Dr. Kisker became my major adviser and later supervisor when I com- pleted my clinical internship. My first exposure to hypnosis was watching Dr. Kisker use hypnosis with a hospitalized population. He became my mentor and teacher of hypnosis because there was no graduate course in hypnosis at the time. The rest is history in terms of my career in the field of hypnosis. I ended up teaching the first hypnosis course at the University of Cincinnati to graduate/ medical students. Hypnosis has been used for as long as records have been kept and originally was influenced by beliefs in the stars, magnetic fields and exorcism. The term hypnosis was coined in 1841 by an English physician, James Braid. Hypnosis became more scientific and accepted and officially recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1958 as a legitimate treatment method. The last 40 years has been a tremendous growth period for hypnosis, and books too numerous to mention have been published on the subject. Clinicians graduated from a variety of training programs, and their particular theoretical backgrounds influenced how they began to use hypnosis. Much of this early training, including my own and that of Jordan Zarren, was very psychoanalytic in nature. Clinicians took continuing education courses, and we began to see a shift to behavioral and cognitive treatment approaches. Hypnosis just seemed to fit in better within cognitive-behavioral models because of the shorter term treatment approaches that they espoused. Training programs began to change, and the advent of managed care pushed for even shorter and briefer models of treatment. IX jc FOREWORD Many other health care groups have continued to recognize hypnosis, as the AM A did in 1958, as an effective therapeutic treatment modality. This has led to the need for specialized training of more licensed health care clinicians and a greater need for published material on hypnosis geared to brief treatment skills. Books on hypnosis have continued to be published. The majority of them have been general texts, covering the whole field of hypnosis, or very specific texts, such as those addressing the use of hypnosis for pain control. Even though the cognitive treatment model has been recognized as most effective in producing change in patient behavior, there has been little written on combining cognitive techniques with hypnosis, within a brief therapeutic model—until now. Brief Cognitive Hypnosis: Facilitating the Change of Dysfunctional Behav- ior is a magical addition to the field of clinical hypnosis. Two distinguished board-certified clinicians with over 60 years of combined clinical experience have provided a delightful and practical resource book for all clinicians using hypnosis as a tool in their clinical work. The authors state that their book is for clinicians experienced in the use of hypnosis. However, after 40 years in the field myself, and having taught hun- dreds of graduate students and licensed professionals, it is my opinion that this book not only will add to the experienced clinician's skills but also will provide a straightforward and practical approach for the neophyte in hypnosis. This book is a practical, well-documented, clinical volume based on solid psychological concepts and principles. As the title implies, Brief Cognitive Hypnosis is also consistent with the managed care model, which emphasizes brief therapy and structured treatment. Like cognitive therapy in general, the authors come from a positive frame of reference in which the patient assumes a degree of responsibility for his or her treatment. In addition to the material presented, related issues in hypnosis, such as sensory representational language, waking state refraining, and the importance of semantics, are skillfully interwo- ven into the framework of this book. This book becomes even stronger with the addition of excellent case studies, brief inductions and numerous examples of specific wording to facilitate ther- apeutic change. Jordan Zarren even uses distraction as he mentions the appro- priate use of sleight-of-hand magic in the treatment process. The thirteen chapters are broken into three well-organized sections: Part One—Fundamental Concepts and Essential Tools, Part Two—Clinical Applica- tions, and Part Three—Smoking Cessation and Keys to Change. In Part One, chapters 1 through 7, the brief cognitive hypnosis model is clearly introduced and the fundamental concepts and essential tools for doing this type of therapy are logically presented. These chapters are packed full of new and alternative ideas for the experienced clinician, while providing the basics to beginners in the field who want to follow a cognitive model. FOREWORD xi In Part Two, chapters 8 through 11, the authors get down to the specific treatment of many clinical problems, such as anxiety, dysfunctional habits, pain, and a variety of medical problems, which can all benefit from using this approach. Part Three, chapter 12, provides a detailed single-session smoking cessation program. I learned a great deal that I can now incorporate into the single- session smoking cessation treatment approach that I have used for over 38 years. Chapter 13, "Review: Keys to Change", pulls it all together, leaving the reader with a strong feeling of excitement for having read this excellent book. More than adequate references are given at the end of the book that support and document the brief cognitive hypnosis model. William C.

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.

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
