Ericksonian Hypnosis in Chronic Care Support Groups: A Rogerian Exploration of Power and Self-Defined Health-Promoting Goals

Dorothy M. Larkin, RN; PhD

The College of New Rochelle, School of Nursing, New Rochelle, New York

This Rogerian study examined how traditional and Ericksonian hypnotherapeutic support groups facilitated self-defined health-promoting goals and power as knowing participation in change for 49 participants with chronic physical illness. The participants were randomly assigned to either a traditional support group or an Ericksonian hypnotherapeutic support group. Measurements of power and self-defined health-promoting goals were obtained seven times over a 10-week period. The results indicated that both the traditional support groups and the Ericksonian hypnotherapeutic support groups experienced significantly enhanced power and progressed significantly toward their health-promoting goals. Correlations for the self-defined health-promoting goals and power progressively and significantly increased through time. This study supports Barrett's claim that power relates to health.

Key Words: health goals • hypnosis • power • Rogers • science of unitary human beings • support groups
