by CCH President, Alan Stubenrauch (April 2007 Vol 1. Issue 2)  Alan Stubenrauch According to an old proverb, a calm sea does not make a skilled sailor and it was most pleasing to see “all hands on deck” during the recent storm in South Australia, when a proposed amendment to the Psychological Practice Bill 2006 could have led to a return of restricting the use of hypnosis to psychologists, medical practitioners and dentists. The combined impact of submissions from CCH and the Associations and training institutions as well as a number of individuals resulted in the withdrawal of the proposed amendment and the waters are calm once more – for the time being at least.
This latest chapter in the history of Clinical Hypnotherapy serves to highlight that the CCH mission “to unite in one voice and passion, all clinical hypnotherapists and thereby to serve with the highest ideals, the interests and security of the profession, the practitioners and the clients of clinical hypnotherapy…” is not just a lofty ideal but a necessary stage in the evolution of our profession. |

 Bill Patterson Hypnotherapeutic Strategies for Opiate Addiction Rehabilitation Programmes: A review of the AHA Seminar presented by Bill Patterson March 2007. A life that is dominated by an addiction can and often does so easily become a life that is sustained by that addiction and the odds of an opiate addict living beyond the age of fifty are about 50-50. “Occasional use” to assist with a perceived contextual anxiety or so-called “recreational use” (a tantalising but nonetheless illusory concept) soon become habitual and the self-perpetuating cycle of shame, low self esteem and anxiety begins. Can hypnotherapy help to break the pernicious cycle of addiction? |

Congratulations from the NZHF On behalf of the New Zealand Hypnotherapy Federation I would like to offer our support and whole hearted agreement with the formation of the Council of Clinical Hypnotherapists.
The NZ Hypnotherapy Federation has worked well for New Zealand, and brought together the profession under one umbrella and allowing the majority of the New Zealand hypnotherapy organisations (societies and training schools) to speak and act as one.
We look forward to co-operating with the Australian CCH in the future and I hope that, in time, we will have a joint conference. In the meantime I offer our support and our experience.
Congratulations! We wish you every success.
Regards
John G. Collins Acting NZHF President |

by CCH President, Alan Stubenrauch (November 2006 Vol 1. Issue 1)  CCH President Alan Stubenrauch "A warm welcome to this first issue of ‘Perspectives’, the quarterly newsletter of the Council of Clinical Hypnotherapists. It has, indeed, been a year of ‘firsts’ for the CCH: our first Annual General Meeting and Conference; our first official members and our first affiliations in place with some of the major Australian clinical hypnotherapy associations. We are also in the process of finalising an international strategic alliance with The Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy and we have some exciting professional development activities planned for the coming year with our first international guest presenter, Roy Hunter, coming to Melbourne in early March. |

By Belinda Hulstrom  Terence Watts APHP “The CCH aims and aspirations resonate so clearly and deeply with my passion and vision for our profession, I welcome an alliance between the CCH and the APHP.” APHP Chairman, Terence Watts
Cordial and productive discussions between CCH and APHP in the UK have demonstrated quite clearly that although CCH has been founded as the national representative body for the Clinical Hypnotherapy profession in Australia, its vision most certainly has international appeal. |
