Make plans now to attend the
54th Running of the ASCH Annual Scientific Meeting and Workshops
March 16-20, 2012 at the Westin Charlotte in the “Queen City” Charlotte, North Carolina.
As our knowledge base of the science and the art of hypnosis intertwine and reveal what hypnosis is and what it can do; we look to our meeting in Charlotte, the stock car capital of America, to race forward to the intersection of the mind and body. From neurophysiologic effects of hypnosis to techniques in therapy, we are looking to get in gear with the latest innovations. We have witnessed advances in technology such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), virtual reality, and internet search engines with their effects on clinical hypnosis. Now we wish to close the gap between science and patient care.
So get your search engines started!
SCHEDULE CLARIFICATION
