Üskudar University, ÜSEM (Üsküdar University Continuing Education Research and Application Center), Turkish Society of Medical Hypnosis (THD) and ESH (European Society of Hypnosis), invite you to attend the “9th International Congress of Medical Hypnosis” in Istanbul on 11-13 December, 2015.

Hippocrates defines Hypnosis “as a means of accessing the body’s natural ability to correct itself and grow healthily” and treats the body as a whole. Additionally, Avicenna, for the first time, highlights the fact that “hypnosis” differs from “sleep” and refers to hypnosis as “the pleasant dreamy imagination”. Actually, as mentioned by the two famous physicians Hippocrates and Avicenna, hypnosis is a means of complementary treatment giving us bliss while at the same time making us becoming aware of the importance to treat the Body and Soul as a whole. Eventually, the motto of our congress points out this fact very well: “Hypnosis is Awareness of Body and Soul”.

During the congress, hypnosis and its applications in treatment which has always taken an important place through Complementary Medical treatment protocols, hypnotic induction techniques and the suggestions given during hypnotic treatment will be discussed through various symposiums, presentations and workshops with the participation of national and international speakers who have different posts in ESH (European Society of Hypnosis) and ISH (International Society of Hypnosis); such as Presidency and BOD membership.

We expect all the physicians, dentists and psychologists who are willing to be informed about hypnosis and who have the ambition the follow and learn the worldwide state of the art developments in the field of hypnosis and its applications to attend this event.
