Overview

Suggestion, rather than persuasion, threat, or force, is a powerful way to influence behavior change. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, healthcare staff members constantly offer both beneficial and negative suggestions. Preliminary evidence indicates that hypnosis and the power of suggestion can have positive impacts when used in healthcare. They can be used to manage or reduce perception of pain in adults and children, as well as accomplish behavior change involving a variety of psychological conditions. This course will provide information to help clinicians use suggestions to help patients achieve positive outcomes. It also will provide information on the increased use of hypnosis and self-hypnosis in complementary and alternative medicine.
