Gerald Kein said… - Hypnotherapy vs. psychotherapy
Gerald Kein
On several occasions when I appeared before legislative committees to testify against bills created the practice of hypnotism, psychiatrists and psychologists testifying in favor of the bills have stated, "Self-styled hypnotherapists” are simply " lay hypnotists" who are practicing psychotherapy by adding a "trance" and calling it by a different name.
The following ideas are the beginning of a process which will lead to the full identification and recognition of the differences between the psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. I urge all practitioners to articulate to everyone these conceptual, pragmatic and systemic differences.
HYPNOTHERAPIST: one who was trained in the principles and methods used to
develop trance and to use the phenomenon of trance as an intrinsic part of therapy and that is the primary methodology in affecting growth and change.
Phenomena of trance:
1. The development and expression of deductive processing of thought and imagery.
2. The ability to stimulate memory recall and simultaneously revive attached feeling content.
3. And enhanced capacity to quickly develop and emotionalized relationship (report) with the helping person.
4. A tremendously heightened capacity to internalize the new and different ideas (programming) presented by the helper, utilizing a variety of methods such as implication, supposition, and the use of multiple level communication (puns, jokes, stories, analogies and imagery, as well as the direct suggestion and regression).
5. Heightened potential for stimulation and manipulation of subconscious memories, scripts, belief systems, and the emotionalized attitudes which form parts of the clients counterproductive behavior.
6. Accessibility to levels of irrational, deductive processing, which generate inhibition and feelings of helplessness expressed in specific forms of negative behavior.
Major Differences Between Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy
Psychotherapy
Training in psychotherapy begins with and is strongly influenced by Freudian psychoanalytic theories.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy training begins with the teaching of trance development, following by the utilization of the of "Phenomena of trance" and a wide variety of uncovering methods for rapid movement toward actualizing goals.
Psychotherapy
Traditional psychotherapy holds the view that virtually everyone has some form of neurosis which emerges as part of a developmental struggle to socialize a primitive, aggressive and often destructive pool of energy referred in psychotherapy as the "id". In other words, as one psychotherapist once stated to me, "If you're not in therapy you're in denial."
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a naturalistic approach the uses the clients present resources and straightens to further and accomplish meaningful goals.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy strongly implies that therapeutic change is usually difficult and time consuming and therefore requires extended therapy (10-20 hypnosis sessions or two or more years of regular therapy sessions is not unusual).
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is usually presented as a dramatically rapid intervention system which strengthens and reshapes the clients feelings of competence and capability (one or two sessions is not uncommon).
As we can see, there are substantial differences between hypnotherapy and psychotherapy. We are not licensed psychologists or psychiatrists. Those individuals, as a bias of their profession, are trained to work with the manipulation of the conscious mind. We know that the conscious mind is extremely limited in how it can affect change of internalized subconscious programming.
For the over 200 years of recorded professional hypnotic practice by thousands of individuals We understand that the conscious mind basically can do but four things. They are, analytical function, will power, temporary memory and rational function. The attempt to correct behavior using these constructs at best is extremely long term and generally impossible. These are the areas that the licensed professional is trained in and attempts to effect change with.
The well-trained hypnotists knows his/her goal is to bypass this conscious mental part and work with the organic computer we call the subconscious mind. For all practical purposes, the hypnotists/hypnotherapist functions as an organic subconscious computer reprogramer. By understanding this concept it is easy then to understand the real differences between hypnotherapy and psychotherapy.
For many years, The National Guild of Hypnotists has been stating consistently that hypnosis is its own separate profession. It is its own separate art, science and modality of doing the work that does not conflict in methodology with that of a licensed professional. I agree with this position and have done so for many years.
I believe it's all of our jobs to educate not only the licensed professionals but also the general public in the significant differences between our professions. It will take constant effort on our part to make this a reality. I believe that the next few years will be a very challenging time for our profession. For us to be able to understand and articulate the differences between hypnosis and psychotherapy in a professional manner will be extremely helpful in these future challenges. The free and open practice of hypnosis is not just a dream. it will become our reality. Between now and then it is critically important we all practice what we are….HYPNOTISTS….Not Psychologists! Lets all be proud of what we do.

There are certain phrases or comments that we absolutely hate to hear from people who have gone to a hypnotist in order to correct a problem. These comments are, “I went to a hypnotist but it didn’t work for me” or “Hypnosis doesn’t work for smoking, I tried it three times and I still smoke.”

Induction Selection - Which One Should I Use?
Induction Selection
By
Gerald Kein
Recently I was speaking with a new hypnotist who had just finished their first hypnosis certification course. When I asked them about what type of inductions they were taught, they told me they just learned the progressive relaxation induction. When probing further, they said they were also taught a few variations of this induction.
To say the least, I was shocked! Don’t get me wrong, this induction is a fine induction for a certain percentage of the individ… Continue
