Using Hypnosis in Family Therapy Jossey Bass Social and Behavioral Science Series

In 1983, Dr. Michele Ritterman wrote Using Hypnosis in Family Therapy, the first systemic integration of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and Structural Family Therapy. In this classic text she pioneered and developed the concept of the symptom as a trance state and compiled the first study of natural interactive trance inductive sequences and coordinated therapy counter-sequences. The focus of the book leads to a new view of the symptom as a “gift” in a series of therapeutic exchange rituals.

In the words of Daniel Araoz, M.D., “What the family is doing ineffectively and counterproductively can be turned around for their benefit. The awareness of this aspect of family communication we owe to Ritterman (1983), whose “dialectical” approach to family therapy is a welcome relief from the rigid systemic approach elevated recently to the status of religious dogma in many family therapy circles (The New Hypnosis, 1985, p. 106).

Fear of Driving




You’ll learn to enjoy the convenience and joy of driving or being a passenger in a car

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars The power of positive thought
I have a fear of driving that I’m gradually overcoming with lots of practice. An essential component of getting over this fear is also positive thinking and visualizing myself driving calmly, smoothly, and safely. This is where this CD comes in. I use it to make sure that I take a few minutes every day to sit quietly and reflect on driving. While it’s not a miracle cure, it really has helped me and I would recommend that those that have a fear of driving use it as a part of their training.
