The Clinical Hypnosis Program
General Goals
Accredited by the Milton H. Erickson Foundation in Phoenix, Arizona, (USA) in 1990, the Milton H. Erickson Institute of Montreal is dedicated to the training of professionals in clinical hypnotherapy.
Milton H. Erickson is well known for his ingenious methods for eliciting patient change. He developed a highly innovative new hypnosis with a totally permissive context. His powerful brief therapy techniques such as symptom prescription, reframing, anecdotes and metaphor can be incorporated in many psychotherapeutic approaches.
In the dynamic workshops presented by the Milton H. Erickson Institute of Montreal, you will understand the logic of Ericksonian strategies and learn how to apply them to specific clinical problems. You will learn how to implement Ericksonian principles of utilization, permissiveness and indirection and other Ericksonian techniques to induce therapeutic hypnotic trance. Hypnosis enhances and deepens the effects of psychotherapy and body-mind interventions like the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, Sleep and Post Traumatic Disorders or the management of pain, among other health conditions.

In this program, the teaching modality is didactic/experiential. It uses live and video demonstrations, supervised practices, cases presentations, as well as individual and/or team homework. It’s approach allows participants to transfer their learning and skills into their clinical work.
