MASTER CLASS
HYPNOSIS IN PSYCHIATRY
Dr Anna Zohrabian
This Masterclass is designed to provide therapists with important guidelines in assessing patients who wish to be treated by hypnotherepy. 

The Masterclass will provide comprehensive information on the Differential Diagnosis of the most commonly presented psychiatric conditions and their symptoms, etiology, influencing factors and main lines of therapeutic intervention. It is important for therapists to have the knowledge and understanding of these symptoms and conditions in order to find the right technique and approach, and to make the right decision as to whether the patient presenting with that particular symptom should be treated by hypnosis.

The vital issue of when hypnotherapeutic intervention will be of benefit to the patient and when it is contraindicated will be discussed. We shall also cover in detail the theoretical aspects of various Neuroses and Anxiety Neurosis in particular. Practical aspects of the treatment plan in general, as well as specialised techniques used in the treatment of anxiety, panic attacks, and OCD’s, will be discussed.

Based on Dr Zohrabian’s vast clinical data and extensive personal experience in the field of psychiatry this Masterclass will benefit practitioners interested in broadening their range of theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of Neuroses in general, and anxiety disorders in particular. 

Interesting case histories will also be discussed as an aid to help therapists improve their clinical judgment in the diagnosis and treatment of their patients.

MASTER CLASS
HYPNOTHERAPY: ETHICAL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
Maggie Chapman 
Good business practice is an essential component in providing successful therapy. It is all part of the contract which you enter into with your patients and as such should be clearly defined to ensure that the partnership becomes, and remains a rewarding one for both participants. Once the practitioner sets up in practice correctly, the therapeutic aspect of your work becomes self-fulfiling in business terms. A good referral is worth so much more than cold advertising. 

This Masterclass aims to assist the practitioner to understand the business aspects of therapeutic practice, and to ensure that they become complementary, not conflicting strategies.

This Masterclass will provide comprehensive information about setting up in private practice, from the first phone call to the successful completion of therapy. Ideal for students who are newly qualified or currently training, and will also be of assistance to those who are already in practice but need additional assistance to structure the business aspect of therapeutic practice.

The morning session will be dedicated to the business aspects of starting up in private practice and good business management. 

The afternoon session will be looking at the therapeutic process and how to handle your patients effectively. 
In addition how to enable the therapeutic process by understanding your language and using your patient’s language productively within the process. Participants will be expected to take part in the role-playing session which will form an integral part of the learning process. A full pack of draft letters will also be supplied.
