The Couple's Hypnotic Dance
by Carol Kershaw, Ed.D.
Creating Ericksonian Strategies in Marital Therapy
This book is about hypnosis,
couples, and therapy. To many, such a combination of topics evokes the
question, "What's wrong with this picture?" These concepts do not go
together in traditional orientations to mental health. Therapists often
consider hypnosis as an intrapsychic oriented tool for poking about in
memories possibly with the goal of suppressing a symptom in response to a
suggestion or for gaining insight to an historic conflict. On the other hand,
many regard couples therapy and family therapy as the opposite end of a
continuum where interpersonal dimensions are stressed in the here and now.
Hypnosis, aside from consistently
suffering a somewhat peripheral and often suspect role in individual therapy,
has remained almost unknown in family therapy. Apart from the work of such
mid-century luminaries as R.D. Laing, who pointed out the hypnotic experience
of family life, and Eric Berne, who observed that parents hypnotize their
children, very little has connected it with family therapy. Generally, most
practitioners have associated hypnosis with "deep pathology" and dangerous unknowns.
