IC01 Invited Address - Ericksonian Psychotherapy and Shamanic Healing - Carl Hammerschlag, MD

Description:

The power to manipulate words and environments is a healing ceremony that moves patients beyond their limitations. Ericksonian psychotherapists and shamans understand that the process of change is an inner journey whose only prerequesite is a willingness to look within. Using words, stories, imaginary beings, rituals and ordeals, healers help patients illuminate the unconscious allowing them to create new ending to old stories.

Educational Objectives:

1. To describe the archetype of the healer.
2. To define the science of psychoneuroimmunology.
