Concentration and Certificate<br />
in Clinical Hypnosis<br />
The clinical practice <strong>of</strong> hypnosis has changed greatly in the past 40 years.<br />
Perhaps the greatest single advancement in the field <strong>of</strong> hypnosis is the<br />
realization that the ability to experience hypnosis resides largely in the person<br />
having the experience rather than in the therapist. Modern clinical hypnosis is<br />
an interpersonal process in which the therapist and the client work<br />
cooperatively to enhance the well being <strong>of</strong> the client.<br />
The Concentration and Certificate in Clinical Hypnosis program is designed<br />
to provide graduate students in psychology and practicing pr<strong>of</strong>essionals with an<br />
opportunity to obtain structured, sequential, pr<strong>of</strong>essional education and<br />
training in clinical hypnosis. <strong>Adler</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s certificate program has been<br />
approved by the American Society <strong>of</strong> Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH). Students<br />
currently enrolled in a degree program at the <strong>School</strong> are eligible to graduate<br />
with a Concentration in Clinical Hypnosis. A Certificate is awarded to those<br />
possessing licensure as a clinical psychologist or other licensed health<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionals. Graduates <strong>of</strong> this program meet or exceed the training<br />
requirements for membership in and certain certification requirements <strong>of</strong> ASCH.<br />
Applicants who have completed programs or courses <strong>of</strong>fered or approved by<br />
either ASCH or the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (SCEH) may<br />
be able to waive some <strong>of</strong> the required courses in this program.<br />
This program presents the theoretical foundations <strong>of</strong> clinical hypnosis and<br />
develops students’ skills in the application <strong>of</strong> hypnosis techniques. Students<br />
learn how to understand and employ hypnotic phenomena to aid clients with<br />
psychotherapy and medical related issues.<br />
The certificate indicates that the student has successfully completed a<br />
course <strong>of</strong> study in the area <strong>of</strong> clinical hypnosis. The certificate is not intended<br />
to serve as recognition <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>iciency. Further, it is not a license or certificate <strong>of</strong><br />
registration as a pr<strong>of</strong>essional hypnotist or hypnotherapist.<br />
