Description
Description:
Successful brief psychotherapeutic work with gay men includes the use of clinical hypnoses as well as an accepting compassionate stance of the psychotherapist. Ego-state work and positive self-representations create healing from years of internalized shame. Specific psychosocial issues for gay men, core issues common in the gay male community, customized hypnoses scripts, and effective short-term treatment strategies will be discussed.
Educational Objectives:
- Assess specific clinical needs for gay male patients and develop customized interventions based on these needs.
- Describe and utilize at least three successful hypnotic techniques specific for gay men.
- Create dialogues pertaining to safer sexual practices and drug use that are motivational for their patients.
- Distinguish between interventions that may be shame based versus those that are compassionate.
