This DVD, updated for 2010+, contains the ICBCH
Code of Ethics and a model for resolving ethical dilemmas. The most
valuable portion is perhaps guidance concerning individual state
regulations on hypnosis and hypnotherapy practice, models for informed
consent, and an explanation not only of the proper use of hypnosis and
hypnotherapist titles, but suggestions that can help you succeed in
practice by making sure you represent yourself accurately and
professionally to prospective clients. Richard also touches on the
regulations of hypnosis around the world, for professionals outside of
the USA. Graduates of this ICBCH homestudy program will have the
resources necessary to build a successful private practice and operate
within the law and ethical guidelines suggested by the ICBCH.

The Course Notes provide a comprehensive overview of the hypnotic process - how and why it works, terms, definitions, explanations and more.
The Book, "Inductions and Deepeners" offers actual transcripts from live hypnosis sessions, so you have the induction script to study, and then discusses the development of the suggestions, why specific language was used, and more.
The Sample Audio CD offers a complete hypnosis or self-hypnosis session, which you can study to better understand the suggestive therapy hypnotic process, to improve your success with clients.
The Data CD provides a simple, effective Assessment Tool for use with your clients. The NSRI, or Nongard Strengths and Resources Inventory, helps you to assess your client's strengths, weaknesses, social supports, personality attributes and more, which can be helpful for targeting prescriptive therapeutic suggestions and monitoring progress.

Certified Hypnotist (C.Ht.)
This title is reserved for associate members of the ICBCH and is the most basic level of recognition. The requirements for associate membership and certification include completion of our live or homestudy 20-hour certification program. This level of certification is designed for those who practice hypnosis apart from any clinical setting, but have learned the 5-stages of the hypnotic process and use hypnosis primarily to enhance personal life goals and to help people achieve the physical and mental benefits of hypnosis.
Certified Professional Hypnotist (C.P.H.)
This title is for those who intend to or are practicing hypnosis professionally and are already an ICBCH Certified Hypnotist. Requirements for this level of certification include completion of our basic 20-hour certification program, plus an additional 30 hours of ICBCH approved training. Members of the ICBCH who are certified by another professional organization with substantially similar training requirements may apply for CPH status through reciprocity.
Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (C.C.H.)
In most states the practice of "therapy" or use of the word "therapy" is legally reserved for those with licensure or certification in a mental health or medical related discipline. The ICBCH will award status as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist only to those who are certified or licensed by a state or recognized national board in healthcare, medical or mental health professions. ICBCH members who complete our 20-hour homestudy or live certification and are licensed or certified by an acceptable organization or state licensing board will be designated as Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists.
ICBCH Diplomate Status
Diplomate status is reserved for those who are ICBCH certified as Clinical Hypnotherapists (CCH) or Professional Hypnotists (CPH) and complete 100 hours of hypnosis instruction through the ICBCH or another recognized provider.
