no certificate

The major difference you may be overlooking is that I do not offer certification for my trainings. Further, one must have a Master of Doctorate degree to attend any of them. Ironically, I usually do not teach hypnosis as part of my work. More often I teach is assessment, brief therapy, couples therapy, trauma recover, or some special technique (pain control, metaphor, ambiguous function assignment, paradox, etc., in some treatment context or another). I do not offer 15-day programs, however, most of the training is shorter (except for my ongoing supervision workshops) -- usually I teach for universities in the US and in other countries or as a part of a larger training program (such as Zist in Germany or the Brief Therapy organizations in Japan, Hong Kong, etc.).

Interestingly, in years past, I did conduct year-long programs in several cities each month. These were held in Chicago (Riverdale Hospital), Boston (Harvard Guttmann Center), Cincinnati (Xavier University), and Ann Arbor (Huron Valley Institute), etc. But in the years of Reagan economics they became to cost prohibitive for attendees and sponsors alike. They became 6-mo., then 3-mo. programs, etc. Ah, but, those were the good old days. Many people who now run Erickson Institutes were among the attendees: Jane Parsons, MSW (NY), Reid Wilson, PhD (now anxiety expert in SC), Rodger Kessler, PhD (VT), and so on. Those were great programs. I wish we could do them still (Zist in Germany still does this).
