Abstract: Many patients seek out clinicians trained in clinical hypnosis for assistance with clinical goals related to habit change or smoking cessation. This session will arm clinicians already proficient in clinical hypnosis with the tools, strategies, and methods most relevant to the use of hypnosis to address habits. Advanced hypnotic techniques will be demonstrated and discussed in the context of smoking cessation and habit control. This material will be presented using a combination of lecture, case-based, and experiential/psychomotor teaching strategies. Use of scientific literature regarding this modality will be emphasized.
