Daniel P. Brown
Dr. Dan Brown, one of the leading authorities, mentors and authors in the field of clinical hypnosis and meditation, passed away on April 4, 2022. Dan had been suffering with Parkinson’s Disease, and then in his weakened state he succumbed to colon cancer. He is survived by his wife Gretchen and two sons. He was the author or coauthor of 24 books. Dan received his undergraduate degree at the University of Massachusetts in molecular biology and his Ph.D. in Religion & Psychological Studies at the University of Chicago. He was awarded a Danforth Fellowship given for promise in teaching excellence, and as part of that fellowship received specialized training in how to teach. In graduate school, the famed hypnoanalyst Erika Fromm, Ph.D., served as his primary clinical mentor, a relationship that lasted for 35 years. Dr. Brown has taught hypnotherapy for close to 40 years. His books on hypnosis included the Hypnotherapy and Hypnoanalysis and Hypnosis and Behavioral Medicine, both coauthored with Erika Fromm and Creative Mastery in Hypnosis and Hypnoanalysis. While in graduate school in Chicago, he commuted to the University of Wisconsin, Madison, for parttime studies in the Buddhist studies program, where he learned Tibetan, Buddhist Sanskrit, and Pali. In his first clinical placement as a psychological clerk at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, he studied thought disorder in schizophrenics with Martin Harrow and selfpsychology with Heinz Kohut. He also commuted part time to The Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas, where he did work with the staff of the children and adolescent units on the treatment of substance abuse. There, Karl Menninger, M. D. served as an important mentor. In the late 1970s, he moved back to his home state of Massachusetts where he did an internship at McLean Hospital and a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Clinical Research at Harvard Medical School at The Cambridge Hospital. His research focused on the long-term effects of mindfulness meditation. In the 1980s Dr. Brown was the Director of Training and then Chief Psychologist at The Cambridge Hospital. There, he helped develop and gain accreditation for an APA-approved clinical psychology internship and post-doctoral training program. His vision was to provide the best young talent in psychology the opportunity to work with a disenfranchised inner city chronic mental health population, which included intensive developmentally informed psychotherapy for patients with major mental illness and complex trauma disorders. His program included intensive multicultural and bilingual mental health training. At the Cambridge Hospital, he developed and directed the Behavioral Medicine Program, a joint venture between psychiatry and primary care medicine. His book Hypnosis and Behavioral Medicine represents the clinical approaches developed in that program. He developed a special interest in psychoneuroimmunology and the psychosocial treatment of immune disorders. As a result he developed a j

The literature of psychotherapy and hypnosis has been dominated by articles and reports on how to best explore the past to better understand, change behavior, and promote healing. Relatively, meager space and attention was given to study and report on using the future to bring about a therapeutic change in behavior and promote healing of illness and recovery of disease. It is indeed an honor and privilege to serve as a guest editor for this special issue of the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis devoted to a future focused approach in using hypnosis-mediated age progression as a therapeutic strategy and achieve good therapeutic outcomes. The following lines provide the readers with a summary of the articles in this special issue of the journal. Dr Michael Yapko opens this special issue with his article titled “Encouraging Hindsight in Advance: Age Progression in Therapy and Life.” Yapko questions the belief of many therapists that “the past is what makes us who we are,” justifying an excessive focus on exploring the past. He points out that even hypnosis practitioners who believe in this idea have built a clinical practice focused on ideomotor questioning to find the hypothetical “root cause” of someone’s problems. He points out how important it is that we question whether a past orientation in therapy is truly the most effective way for achieving best lasting therapeutic outcomes and enhancing people’s life. In this article, Yapko builds a convincing and cogent foundation for the great value in adopting a future orientation to therapy strategies. He makes for us a solid connection to the concept of expectancy and expectations therapists and patients have of treatment interventions reminding us that the well-known placebo effect is in fact a relatively concrete symbol of a positive future orientation. Yapko states convincingly that any suggestive communication strategy that orients the client experientially to future events is an age progression pattern. Yapko provides important knowledge of how important a future orientation is in the treatment of clients with depression emphasizing that “the greater the degree of client hopelessness, the more immediate the use of age progression should be.” Age progression strategies help to build skills of foresight, which create not just treatment but also an avenue of prevention. Yapko concludes his contribution clarifying the concepts of content-oriented versus processoriented approaches in utilizing age progression. Moreover, he provides an example with a transcript of using a process-oriented strategy for promoting foresight.

It is common for psychotherapy interventions used in the context of hypnosis to address events in the client's past or present including decisions, traumas, parataxic distortions (Sullivan, 1970), suppressed emotions and so on. Unlike conventional psychotherapy, hypnosis has a well-known and commonly referred to perceptual phenomenon called "future-orientation in time." While this feature has been used by various therapists, it does not appear to be routinely used as the foundation for crafted interventions. This paper briefly discusses the historical emergence and the progressive logic of using imagery in various hypnotic and non-hypnotic therapeutic approaches, how this progression from using past imagery to present imagery has currently culminated with future-to-past oriented imagery interventions and outlines the minimum necessary steps for conducting an intervention within hypnosis called Emanated Imagery. The rationale and step-by-step procedure for constructing Emanated Imagery, as well as a case example, is presented.

ABSTRACT Suicide is a very distressing but preventable phenomenon; it is also the most profound and serious outcome for patients and healthcare professionals. Suicidal ideations and hopelessness are a high-risk predictor for suicide attempts and death by suicide. The proper therapeutic management of suicidal patients continues to be an important challenge to all practicing clinicians. This article provides a review of age progression and specific information on the value and use of hypnotically mediated age progression as a therapeutic tool in the effective clinical management of patients with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Case examples are provided to illustrate the use of age progression in clinical practice. The literature that explores a future-oriented strategy in the treatment of suicidal patients is reviewed. Moreover, information on a method of enhancing a future oriented strategy with hypnotically mediated age progression interventions is provided. The goal is to improve therapeutic results and reducing the risk of suicide attempts and death by suicide.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is the assessment of reliability and factor structure of “Hypnotic Induction Profile” (HIP) scale in an Iranian psychiatric patient sample. The tool of measurement is HIP that calculated based on two methods of scoring (profile score and induction score). Results showed that the HIP scale is reliable. Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency was .90 and calculated test-retest reliability of Induction Scores and also the Profile Scores were .74 and .80. Agreement coefficient between the two examiners for both scoring methods (Profile Score and Induction Score) was calculated .79 and coefficient correlation for the two scoring methods was .85. Furthermore, factor analysis validity of the HIP scale showed that this scale is constructed by two factors, and derived factors explain 74.94% of the total variance. In general, results in this study present enough reliability for the HIP scale. Concepts of these findings for future studies are discussed.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to describe in detail a specific age progression approach that we use in our clinical practice and clinical trials in interventions including hypnosis for chronic pain and fatigue in individuals with disabilities. Moreover, we present preliminary evidence regarding the effects of the hypnosis sessions that use age progression suggestions compared to hypnosis sessions that provide different suggestions, as well as to sessions that did not include hypnotic procedures. Findings indicate that age progression suggestions for pain management with individuals participating in hypnosis treatment resulted in substantial immediate reductions in pain intensity, which were greater than pain reductions associated with treatments sessions providing pain education or cognitive therapy. In addition, age progression sessions provided to individuals receiving online hypnosis treatment for fatigue resulted in immediate large reductions in fatigue severity. Although the design of these two studies does not allow to report specific or long-term effects of the age progression techniques, findings indicate that including age progression suggestions to hypnosis protocols for pain and fatigue management is effective for reducing the immediate level of both symptoms. The development and continued evaluation of hypnotic interventions that increase or restore hope in, and optimism, for the future has the potential for enhancing the psychosocial well-being and quality of life of individuals with pain and fatigue.

ABSTRACT The current study sought to (1) compare the efficacies of Ericksonian hypnotherapy, traditional hypnotherapy, and educational talk in treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and to (2) evaluate the impacts of hypnotic susceptibility on participants’ responses to hypnotherapy. The study adopted a three-arm randomized controlled trial design and achieved an effective sample size of 144. Self-reported psychological questionnaires were used to assess participants’ IBS symptom severity, health-related quality of life, and coping patterns at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 3 months after intervention. The evaluation focused primarily on IBS symptom severity and health-related quality of life, as well as on the illness coping patterns of symptom catastrophizing and symptoms-related social hypervigilance. The findings showed that significant improvements in IBS symptom severity occurred in all three types of study groups immediately after completion of the intervention (p < .05, ηρ 2 = .20). However, only the traditional hypnotherapy groups and the Ericksonian hypnotherapy groups still had a notably significant decrease in symptoms 3 months after the intervention, whereas the educational talk groups had dropped back to pre-treatment symptom levels at the 3-month follow-up. The amplitude of change of symptom catastrophizing in the traditional hypnotherapy groups was stronger than that in the Ericksonian hypnotherapy groups after completion of the intervention, and the two types of hypnotherapy groups were significantly lower in symptom catastrophizing both immediately after the intervention and also 3 months post-intervention (p < .001, ηρ 2 = .17). The other coping mechanism studied, symptoms-related social hypervigilance, showed a significant decline only in the Ericksonian hypnotherapy groups (ps < .001, ηρ 2 = .45). Interestingly, in the traditional hypnotherapy groups, persons with higher hypnotic susceptibility showed significant improvement in symptom severity, health-related quality of life, and coping patterns following treatment. Notably, the effects from Ericksonian hypnotherapy for IBS diverged from the effects from traditional hypnotherapy. Finally, both Ericksonian hypnotherapy and traditional hypnotherapy appeared to have greater positive effects than educational talk did, but at different levels.
