Description: Planning treatment in clinical hypnosis always involves a balancing between applying the accumulated knowledge in the field and responding to the dynamic interaction with the patient in the present moment. This presentation will outline the knowledge and the craft that should be applied in planning clinical hypnosis, and the communication with patients to obtain their informed consent. The authors also acknowledge that the principle of utilization prevails in treatment sessions, and the intended itinerary for a session may shift abruptly, based on what the patient presents in the moment.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this program the reader will be able to:
- Summarize hypnotic dimensions of the patient’s decision to seek help and the patient’s experience of the first therapeutic encounter

- Explain the value and strategy of coordination with the patient’s medical providers.
- Execute a thorough case assessment to elucidate the information necessary to develop a quality treatment plan
