The Academy of Professional Hypnosis:
Statement
of Institutional Purpose and Philosophy:
The Academy of Professional
Hypnosis:
The Academy of Professional
Hypnosis was the first school of hypnosis to be approved
by the State of New Jersey Department of Education. Since
1991 this Academy has utilized this approval to teach
its students hypnosis for full or part time careers or
as an adjunct to a present occupation. It has taken this
opportunity to evaluate the effects on its students in
order to adapt and evaluate its curricula to their needs.
We have discovered that regardless of the reason for enrollment
in our courses, the students, themselves, immediately
underwent a transformation so that not only did they become
proficient in assisting with changes and the motivation
of others with the use of hypnosis, but surprisingly (to
them) immeasurably helping themselves through self-discovery
resulting from the study of hypnosis.
Statement of Institutional
Purpose and Philosophy:
The
Academy of Professional Hypnosis is dedicated to the study
and investigation of problems and issues in the field of
hypnosis. We maintain as our primary purpose the training
of people as professional hypnocounselors. We recognize
a dependence on a "higher power" and an interdependence
with and a responsibility to humankind by affording persons
the opportunity of gaining greater understanding of self,
self-fulfillment, relief from problems, and the attainment
of personal development. To achieve this end the Academy
of Professional Hypnosis recognizes the need to train professionals
and to offer scholastically oriented programs.
The
Academy has, therefore, defined the following as the purposes
of the institution:
To create
a climate for discussion of significant issues and analysis
of critical problems.
To provide
independent inquiry into new and exciting areas of knowledge
of hypnosis.
To develop
an awareness of the diversity of attitudes, beliefs, and
value systems.
To assist
people in leading more productive and satisfactory lives
through training in the techniques of self-hypnosis.
To provide
the students with the acquisition of and the ability
to demonstrate the breadth and depth of knowledge, continued
thinking, and clarity of self-expression through the
use of relevant and useful materials.
To promote
an attitude of dedication the the study and research of
problems and issues in the area of mind/body phenomena.
To provide
advanced programs designed to challenge and engage profession
adults who seek the acquisition of further knowledge
in the field of hypnosis.
To promote
academic freedom in the pursuit of knowledge in the
field of hypnosis.
To provide
advanced hypnosis and advanced clinical hypnosis level
programs for all who qualify regardless of age, sex, religion,
or ethnic origin.
