What
is the ASCH - Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists? The Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists (ASCH) was formed in 1974 by a small group of clinical Hypnotherapists dedicated to maintain high ethical and professional standards in clinical hypnotherapy. Since that time the Society has grown steadily in membership and now has representatives in every state of Australia and as far afield as Fiji, New Zealand, Hong Kong and The United States of America. The Original Concepts and ideals of the Founding Members have been rigorously maintained. Every Society Member is trained and examined in the relevant areas of study including, the clinical applications of hypnosis, psychology and counselling skills. Prospective members are psychologically assessed to ensure they are suitable persons to carry out therapy and members are required to enter into a supervisory relationship with experienced members during their training and initial period of membership. All members are sworn to uphold the professional and ethical standards as are set out in the Society’s comprehensive Code of Ethics. The
Society is administered by a Board of Directors, elected each year
by the members. The Board includes professional hypnotherapists,
medical practitioners and psychologists who are actively involved
in clinical hypnotherapy. To keep members appraised of the latest developments and techniques used in clinical hypnotherapy the Society maintains a continuing educational programme comprised of discussion groups, workshops and seminars, supervised practice sessions and similar. In addition meetings are convened on a regular basis during which members are encouraged to exchange ideas and knowledge of their particular areas of expertise or specialisation. Membership The membership of the ASCH includes professional hypnotherapists, medical practitioners, psychologists, psychiatrists, registered nurses, chiropractors, counsellors, acupuncturists and people from various other health care professions.
