Nadia Salerno, Psychologist
This article reports on a therapeutic program, conducted in a correctional centre, which included the use of hypnosis with women who had been diagnosed with PTSD. It discusses the logistical and process issues of implementing the program within this treatment setting, focusing on “what works” and specifically how applied clinical hypnosis can best be utilised in this context with other techniques, and outlines some strategies to employ to overcome therapeutic obstacles.
