HYPNOSIS FOR EVERY STAGE: INTEGRATING HYPNOSIS WITH THE “STAGES OF CHANGE” MODEL FOR TREATING ADDICTIONS AND OTHER DIFFICULT BEHAVIORS.
Presenter: Steve K. D. Eichel, Ph.D., ABPP

Info | Directions
The discovery and development of the “stages of change” model in the late 1980s and early 1990s not only revolutionized addictions treatment but had a profound effect on all psychotherapies. As researchers and clinicians explored its utility across a broad range of difficult-to-change behavior problems, it became clear that the “stages of change” was a transtheoretical model that provided a testable, outcomes-oriented framework within which psychotherapists of all theoretical persuasions could effectively operate. In this presentation, I will explore specific hypnotic interventions designed for each stage of change, including strategies useful with motivational enhancement (interviewing), one of the premier evidence-based modalities for working with ambivalent addicted clients.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of the program, participants will be able to:
- Identify the stages of change and how to assess a client’s position on the "wheel of change."
- Learn at least one hypnotic intervention appropriate for each stage of change.
- Learn how knowledge of hypnotic interventions can improve effectiveness of motivational enhancement/interviewing.
