Complementary Medical Hypnotism

This course is a specialty certification of the National Guild of Hypnotists to qualify you to work in a medical environment.

Hypnotism is rapidly becoming recognized as an invaluable aid to medical treatment. Many hospitals now encourage hypnotists to work alongside physicians. Increasingly, physicians are referring their patients for hypnotism to make the treatment received from the physician more effective. With this new openness to hypnotism has come a concern on the part of the medical community to ensure that hypnotists working in the medical setting are properly trained. In response to this widespread request, the National Guild of Hypnotists now provides a specialty certification in the complementary use of hypnotism for medical purposes.

This course will be taught by the Rev. Dr. C. Scot Giles, who directs the first medically-approved, hospital-based program for the hypnotic treatment of cancer in America. Also teaching will be Arthur Leidecker, a Guild Instructor and expert in the electronic enhancement of hypnotism.

In 1997, the Guild honored him with the “Charles Tebbetts Award” for increasing public acceptance of hypnotism.
