Suggestion, as opposed to persuasion, threat, or force, is a powerful way to influence change. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, healthcare providers constantly offer both beneficial and negative suggestions. Preliminary evidence indicates that clinicians can use a variety of cognitive behavioral interventions to help patients achieve positive outcomes. This course focuses on how suggestion and hypnosis help influence how individuals respond to assessment and intervention.
