POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN CLINICAL AND APPLIED HYPNOSIS

Department of Psychology
Faculty of Education & Psychology
The M. S. University of Baroda,
VADODARA.

INTRODUCTION
The last 40 years have witnessed an upsurge of interest and activity in the field of Hypnosis
among academic and applied psychologists, medical practitioners and dentists.

Hypnosis is a useful adjunctive procedure in behavioural treatments of conditions associated

with stress, anxiety and maladaptive habits. It may augment the process of dynamic
psychotherapy by facilitating access to repressed conflicts, impulses, memories and emotions
which may underlie the presenting symptoms.

It is a beneficial procedure in the management of medico-psychological conditions, many of

which are often labeled “psychosomatic”, such as asthma, migraine and tension headache,
dermatological complaints, hypertension, gastrointestinal conditions such as ulcers and
irritable bowel syndrome, sleep disturbances as well as the management of any conditions
giving rise to pain. There is now an accumulation of controlled clinical trials on quite a
number of such disorders which attest the efficiency of application of hypnosis.

Hypnosis is widely applied both within and outside the health service by general
practitioners, medical specialists, psychiatrists, dentists, clinical, educational, and
occupational and sports psychologists, counselors, speech therapists and others. Nevertheless,
the availability of hypnotherapist falls considerably short of the potential demand, given its
wide range of applicability and efficacy. One reason for this is the lack of training available
to the professionals.

It is therefore that the department has decided to train professional people from health service
sector such as psychologists, medical practitioners etc., so that the existing range of
psychotherapies widens to ensure more accurate and pertinent help to the needy.
