Infos

As the extent of mental illness in the population becomes clear, so the provision of care becomes one of the major tasks facing healthcare teams. As a result, a growing army of people is being trained to offer emotional and psychological support in primary care settings. This practical guide to using brief psychological interventions within a short consultation draws together techniques from a number of approaches including CBT, Solution Focus, Brief Therapy, NLP and hypnosis.

Dr Ann Williamson has been a GP for more than thirty years and uses hypnosis and Brief Therapy both formally and informally with many of her clients. She also lectures at Manchester, Chester and Salford Universities. Dr Williamson has been involved with training health professionals in hypnosis for many years with the British Society of Clinical & Academic Hypnosis (BSCAH).
