About Hypnosis

About Hypnosis

Hypnosis is increasingly recognized as an exceptionally powerful vehicle to facilitate and augment the efficacy of virtually any therapeutic approach.

Hypnosis is not a therapy in-and-of itself, but rather is an altered state of consciousness, in which virtually any mode of therapeutic intervention - from didactic training, or analytic exploration, to indirect or health psychology approaches - can often be more effectively & efficiently utilized to promote healing & growth.

In addition to this, the hypnotic state makes a wide variety of interventions possible that are simply unimaginable in “ordinary” talk-therapy!

Modern clinical hypnosis can often be effectively utilized in an almost unimaginably wide range of therapeutic conditions from the augmentation & facilitation of the effectiveness of “normal” psychotherapy, to the facilitation of the growth orientated approaches of Positive Psychology, even to the relief & resolution of the psychosomatic aspects of what are normally considered to be “medical” conditions!

In addition to this, the rapidly developing field of “Transpersonal Psychology”, is uniquely suited hypnotherapeutic intervention

About SASCH

About SASCH

I would like to introduce the South African Society of Clinical Hypnosis (SASCH). SASCH is a division of the Psychological Society of South Africa (PsySSA) and for the past few years has been awarded the commendation for the most active division of the Society.

SASCH presents courses in clinical hypnosis to professionally registered psychologists, intern psychologists and registered Masters Psychology students.

Clinical hypnosis is a dynamic therapeutic intervention, which is time and cost effective, enabling the professional to stay within medical aid limits! The public interest in clinical hypnosis is growing rapidly as persons discover the benefits of undergoing clinical hypnosis. It is therefore important that trained professionals, rather than lay counsellors, offer clinical hypnosis with responsibility and expertise.

After completion of an elementary course in clinical hypnosis, a professional can undergo further training on intermediate and advanced level in four modalities of clinical hypnosis, to suit the personal therapeutic style of each psychologist.

The training usually consists of a four day course, (mostly run over weekends so as not to compromise income) at an affordable cost. The SASCH Elementary course is accredited with 35 points – the yearly points in one course!

The Society also presents one-day workshops on various topics, as well as an annual Congress.

SASCH also has five regional divisions to support members in other parts of the country.

SASCH is an active Society consisting of professionals who want to learn about and promote clinical hypnosis as a valuable, safe and effective therapeutic technique in the hands of a trained professional.

Basic 4 or 5 day training by certain other institutions is acknowledged, making further training by SASCH very accessible.

Please pass this information on to colleagues who might also be interested in training in clinical hypnosis.

You are welcome to contact the SASCH office for further information.
