A personalised induction will always be more effective A personalised induction is the hypnotic induction that is tailored to suit individual people. It can be quite easy to fall into the trap of thinking that one screed will suit all however, it must be understood that everybody is different and when trying to induct them into a hypnotic state it means that the screed can be personalised to specific people. Clients can come in all ‘shapes and sizes’ and it is the job of the therapist to identify certain traits about them that they can help the construction of a personalised screed, people have different cultural backgrounds, different likes and dislikes, values, outlooks and perspectives. All these factors can give little clues to …show more content…
The authoritarian approach is very direct and logical, when delivering the screed it is very to the point with the therapist in complete control of the direction in which the mind is being led, there are very few choices offered to the client and using limited metaphors. Some see this technique as being too harsh and could find themselves resisting but too many it is effective and sometimes necessary for issues such as quitting smoking or weight loss where the therapist has to be assertive to convince the client they are powerful enough to enforce it. The authoritarian approach ties in with direct suggestion where by in stead of giving the client suggestions the therapist will be very direct on where they want the clients mind goes. With direct suggestions the client responds to words rather than images, the suggestion could be one word or a short sentence that will trigger an immediate response. A few examples of the authoritarian/direct approach would be; ‘You are alone here in your special place and you are finding that it is more peaceful than anywhere you have ever been.’ ‘You feel the weight lift off your shoulders.’ One notable hypnotherapist who was more in favour of the authoritarian/direct approach would be Dave Elman (1900-1967) who used direct suggestions in all of his screeds this would explain his success in teaching the medical field this approach. We naturally think of doctors as an authority so we do not normally question
Authoritarian leadership style is where a leader has complete control and power over their team. They demonstrate their 'power' and 'control' by dictating policies and procedures, deciding what goals need to be achieved, and directs all activities to be done by the team. An authoritarian is usually most successful when things are going well or when in a crisis and decisions need to be made quickly.
The primary purpose of the ‘Induction’ stage is to relax the subject and somewhat detach them from awareness of their immediate surroundings and concerns. There are many examples of Induction techniques, including eye fixation (pioneered by James Braid int he 19th century); progressive relaxation of each muscle group in the body in turn; and even rapid induction, which might simply comprise commands such as ‘close your eyes...lower your head...’ and result in the subject falling into trance very quickly.
The purpose of this essay is to explore and illustrate how and why the building of rapport between a client and a therapist is paramount to a successful hypnosis result. It will look at how and when we can build a good rapport, considering the purpose of the notation form and explain the role of the Conscious Critical Faculty and what part it plays in successful hypnosis.
The psychological aspects of hypnotherapy are associated with people’s behaviour. Two of the most recognised psychologists are Stanley Milgram and Soloman Asch. Soloman Asch constructed a series of studies of social influence known as conformity and obedience in psychological terms, conformity refers to an individual's tendency to follow the unspoken rules
There are many different methods that can be used to support the induction process for practitioners and some of these are as follows:
In 1892, the British Medical Association (BMA) commissioned a team of doctors to undertake an evaluation of the nature and effects of hypnotherapy the report states:
There are broadly two different styles of hypnosis used today. They are the authoritarian direct approach and the permissive indirect approach. The authoritarian approach to hypnotherapy was a technique developed by the late Dave Elman who practiced and taught this style of hypnosis until his
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was also interested in hypnosis at this time. He was using it in his work, but eventually abandoned it in favour of psychoanalysis. With the rise of psychoanalysis in the first half of this century, hypnosis declined in popularity.
Looking back, it is clear now that hypnosis has been around for many centuries and the use of hypnotic states can be traced back to Shamans or Witch Doctors. In the 1700’s Franz Anton Mesmer produced his theory of “animal magnetism” in which he believed healing forces could be transferred through “cosmic fluid” there is no evidence to support the transfer of the healing energies devised by Mesmer but his success rate was high which lead to his patients being described as “mesmerized” and mesmerism is an early forerunner for modern day hypnosis. Many theories
The American Psychological Association (2014) defines hypnosis as “… a therapeutic technique in which clinicians make suggestions to individuals who have undergone a procedure designed to relax them and focus their minds.”
“There are many standardised procedures for the induction of hypnosis, but all have the aim of relaxing the patient and encouraging him or her to focus awareness inwardly” (Hadley & Staudacher, 1996, page 19). When a person decides to undergo hypnotherapy, an induction is required to ensure they are sufficiently relaxed to experience the process completely. Various formats are used, depending on why the hypnosis is being undertaken (such as; giving up smoking, weight loss). Some hypnotherapists use a standard format while others personalise the script to each individual. There
This essay will explore the difference between permissive and authoritarian approaches in hypnotherapy. Included will be history of the two approaches, background of the way they work and practical examples to show the influence they have on clients. Gathering information through various means (which will be discussed in this essay) will help the hypnotherapist create a personalized induction. The essay will explore this personalized induction and see if it will always be most effective to use a script that is modified of tailor made for the particular client.
Often times an authoritarian leader has full control of those around them, and believes to have complete authority to treat them as they want. An authoritarian leader would provide instructions without looking for inputs and superintend his or her nurses in a close manner. However, problems may arise if a nurse must wait for the manager's decision or direction before taking action regarding a patient. Although the authoritarian leadership style can be viewed as undesirable, it has proved to be very efficient in emergent and stressful situations. One of the key benefits of authoritarian leadership is the fact that decision making becomes much more simple and fast, as the leader doesn't have to consult or convince anybody. Basically authoritarian leadership can work wonders for the organization when decision making has to be quick and during some crisis.
As I sit here, on the hood of my car looking out into the vast field I think to myself, why this place? Out of all the places that mean so much to me, why does this place stand out the most? Everyone has that one spot that is special to him or her for various reasons whether it be a memory, experience, how it makes them feel, etc. For me, my favorite place encompasses all my senses bringing them to an all time high filling me with an overwhelming indescribable feeling. It’s my sanctuary, a safe place, but above all a place to clear my mind and getaway from reality. There aren’t enough captivating words to describe the beauty of this place. In the winter, the vast field covered in a blanket of untouched glimmering snow surrounded by bare
In the twenty-first century our society has become sceptic on the controversial issue of hypnosis. Our society recognizes hypnosis as a foolish man holding a swinging stopwatch in front of people saying, "When I snap my fingers, you will feel sleepy". Our society does not recognize hypnosis as a way of therapy or treatment. Hypnosis by definition is a trancelike state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted by the subject.
