UNIVERSITY OF GREENWICH ACCREDITATION

COURSE CHANGES

As par t of the ongoing accreditation process with the University

of Greenwich the LCCH Certificate and Diploma courses and

examinations are changing. These changes are required to main-

tain the college’s academic accreditation with the University of

Greenwich. In order to demonstrate the student’s knowledge

and understanding of the course material the multiple-choice and

short-answer questions will be replaced by a one hour shor t–

answer paper. The oral and practical exams will be merged.

To assist LCCH student’s in their learning the college will be

introducing additional reflective work as par t of each weekend’s

course content. This reflective work will be designed to allow

students, tutors and course co-ordinators to monitor and man-

age the student’s progress through the course . These changes are

currently being considered and will be introduced over the next

few months and applied to courses and examinations taking place

after this summer. More information will be provided to students,

tutors and course co-ordinators in the near future. If you have

any questions please contact Maggie Chapman or Tod Cury at

the LCCH office.

ALL YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW

ABOUT HYPNOTHERAPY BUT WERE

AFRAID TO ASK

A Review of the

DIPLOMA IN CLINICAL HYPNOSIS DVD

by

Maggie Elmore

Peter Mabbutt, Director of Studies for LCCH, presents this no-non-

sense DVD. Not just a refresher for those of us who have gained,

(or are studying for), the Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis with LCCH

but also available to students from other colleges (proof of study

required when ordering) and for fully-fledged therapists who will

appreciate touching base with the rudiments of their profession.

This is absolutely not a DVD for the general public. There are no

tricks here , no sleight of hand, no hyperbole , no dimmed lights or

esoteric music to seduce the gullible layperson. It is the ethical

professional who will understand and appreciate the value of having

this storehouse of techniques, treatments, protocols, scripts, induc-

tions etc., at their fingertips. Many will be reminded of techniques

and approaches that have fallen out of awareness through not having

been used for some time .

The DVD is divided into five main sections making it quick and easy

to select a topic or an aspect of a particular subject.

(1) General Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy.

(2) Inductions and Deepeners

(3) Special Presenting Conditions.

(4) Therapeutic Techniques.

(5) Hypnotherapy Scripts.

In Section (1) Peter covers thirty topics ranging from’ Hemispheric

Functioning of the Brain’, ‘Ethical Practice’,’ Ericksonian Techniques’,

‘Massed Practice’, ‘Psychodrama/Hypnodrama’ finishing with

‘Therapy- Bringing it All Together’.

Peter’s students, past and present, will be struck afresh by the

breadth of his knowledge. Those discovering him for the first time

will know immediately that they are in the safe hands of a therapist

who knows his subject inside out.

For Section (2) Peter enlists the help of two other LCCH luminaries,

Maggie Chapman, Director of Academic Assessments and Avy Joseph,

Director of Development. The inductions explained and demon-

strated include Rapid Eye De-focus, Magnetic Field, Pattern Breaking

and many others.

The Special Presenting Conditions of Section (3) include

Performance Anxiety, OCD’s, Bulimia, Smoking, Asthma, Depression,

Dystonia and many, many more . Once again Peter explains the condi-

tion in detail and we are given tantalising glimpses of Maggie and Avy

conducting “therapy”.

More than for ty therapeutic techniques are put under the spotlight

in Section (4). These include Dissociations and Regressions as well as

Creativity Enhancement and Problem Solving.

Section (5) gives half a dozen useful hypnotherapy scripts including

Stop Smoking to which viewers can refer.

The DVD is on one dual layer disc and was filmed using high defini-

tion video and will work on any domestic TV or computer monitor.

With Christmas fast approaching this DVD would make an excellent

gift for the hypnophile in your household.
