Product reviews for Rapid Hypnotic Inductions
The Milton H Erickson Foundation Newsletter, Roxanna Erickson Klein, RN, Ph.D., Dallas, Texas
Gabor Filo has considerable experience and success in integrating Therapeutic hypnosis with his dental practice. This DVD demonstrates a series of' inductions and includes both verbal and non-verbal approaches. It is accompanied by a 16-page pamphlet in which the techniques are described more in depth.
The DVD opens with three minutes of succinct. Introductory remarks spoken while the viewer sees a watch swinging. The comments are excellent
and prepare the viewer for appreciating that induction techniques are both varied and individual, and that professionals must find a style that suits both their personality and practice needs. Filo points out that each of the techniques demonstrated contains the basics of clinical hypnotherapy: Rapport. Focusing. Deepening, Re-alerting and De-briefing.
The variety of techniques can be used in a counselling office as well as in the dental chair. While the hands-on rapid style may not be the first choice of induction for the average counsellor, it is still interesting to see that effective trance can be reached so swiftly. It also is reassuring to discover that effective states of relaxation can he reached in settings such as dental offices where speed is imperative. The variety of styles shown opens possibilities for expansion and variation of one's own personal style. This DVD fills an educational need in making this information readily available.
However, I noted two minor flaws in this DVD. First, prior to using some of these techniques. A longer introductory segment would have been appreciated in that it would have better delineated the target audience and stressed the important foundation of clinical experience. Second, there were a few non-standard U.S. formatting issues. Several computers I tried would not play the DVD, but alter consulting a technician; it played perfectly on a freestanding DVD player. .
Filmed in his dental office. Dr. Filo engages one subject first, then another two subjects to demonstrate a series of brief inductions and re-arousal techniques. The three subjects were well chosen for their obvious rapport with the dentist, their abilities to enter trance rapidly, and their ability to express their experiences clearly.
The induction procedures Filo uses include physical contact, hand movements, eye fixation, fractionation, and surprise, in addition to words, tone, expectation, and pressure points. Once trance is induced, Filo used a variety of deepening techniques, analogies of safety, and post-hypnotic suggestions of comfort to expand the trance work.
Signalling, scaling, and post-hypnotic conversations were used to review the client's experiences. Within the series, the viewer can note demonstrations of dissociation, idea-motor signalling, and glove anaesthesia. The length of trance inductions ranged from extremely brief to a ten-minute demonstration of Elman's classic technique.
The DVD culminated with a 15minute film of actual dental work done with a patient in 121005. The patient described a prior dental phobia. Performed without anaesthesia, the patient gives a remarkable description of the procedure from his perspective. The dental procedure, as well as the patient's description of his own experience, offers a rare opportunity to witness effective work.
Overall. I very much appreciated this DVD, and would highly recommend it for both individuals who seek to expand their repertoire, and especially for professional groups who study hypnotic procedures and processes.
