The clinical practice of hypnosis has changed greatly in the past 40 years. Perhaps the greatest single advancement in the field of hypnosis is the realization that the ability to experience hypnosis resides largely in the person having the experience rather than in the therapist. Modern clinical hypnosis is an interpersonal process in which the therapist and the client work cooperatively to enhance the well being of the client.

The Concentration & Certificate in Clinical Hypnosis program is designed to provide graduate students in psychology and practicing professionals with an opportunity to obtain structured, sequential, professional education and training in clinical hypnosis. Adler School's certificate program has been approved by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH). Students currently enrolled in a degree program at the School are eligible to graduate with a Concentration in Clinical Hypnosis. A Certificate is awarded to those possessing licensure as a clinical psychologist or other licensed health professionals. Graduates of this program meet or exceed the training requirements for membership in and certain certification requirements of ASCH. Applicants who have completed programs or courses offered or approved by either ASCH or the Society for Clinical& Experimental Hypnosis (SCEH) may be able to waive some of the required courses in this program.

This program presents the theoretical foundations of clinical hypnosis and develops students' skills in the application of hypnosis techniques. Students learn how to understand and employ hypnotic phenomena to aid clients with psychotherapy and medical related issues.

The certificate indicates that the student has successfully completed a course of study in the area of clinical hypnosis. The certificate is not intended to serve as a recognition of proficiency. Further, it is not a license or certificate of registration as a professional hypnotist or hypnotherapist.
