About
the Society
The
Australian Society of Hypnosis Ltd (ASH) was formed in 1971 to provide
training and education in hypnosis for health professionals. It was
incorporated as a limited liability company in 1982.
The
Society directly provides training in hypnosis for health
practitioners, psychologists, and dentists. Branches of the Society,
located in each state, also run advanced and specialist hypnosis
training programmes, designed to foster clinical skills development
across the range of applications of hypnosis in health, psychological
and dental settings. The Society holds an annual congress and
workshops, to facilitate a collegial and educational setting for
members. It also encourages cooperative relationships with fellow
professionals in hypnosis throughout the world, through professional
and personal contacts with other national hypnosis societies.
The
Society views hypnosis, not as an independent science, but as an
adjunct to the range of treatment modalities for a wide range of
medical, psychological, and dental applications. Branches of the
Society run training programmes across this spectrum of applications,
together with specialist and advanced training activities.
The
Society has an approximate current membership of 1000 registered
professionals. It is run by a Federal Council, with representatives
from each State Branch, while its day-to-day activities are governed by
an Executive Committee. The Society's training activities and
accreditation are governed by a separate Board of Education. Membership
of the Society is restricted to registered health practitioners,
psychologists, and dentists. In states where the practice of hypnosis
is regulated, only these groups are permitted by law to practice.
