The topic this week is "Hypnosis".) Hypnosis is an area of psychology about which people have many misconceptions. Most of these misconceptions are the result of hypnotism's un­ fortunate association with the stage entertainer, and because of these false ideas, many people are fearful of hypnosis. This is an un­ f o r t u n a t e s i t u a t i o n , however, because in the hands of a qualified prac­ titioner, hypnosis can be a powerful and useful tool for facilitating growth and change. Just what are some of these misconceptions? One of the most common is the idea that the hypnotist has some special power which allows him to manipulate and control a person against that person's will. There is nothing further from the truth. Hypnosis is best thought of as a cooperative venture, with the hypnotist serving as a guide to enable his client to reach goals which are desired by the client. If the hypnotist makes a suggestion which a client does not want to follow, the client is perfectly able to refuse to cooperate. Another common form is that While in a hypnotic stale a person will lose control of himself and do things which he will regret later. This is not likely to happen as a d e q u a t e c o n t r o l mechanisms exists both in and out of the trace state. While a person may feel free to experience some things while in a trance that he normally might not be able to in the normal waking state, he will not do anything which would be damaging to his personality. Finally, there is the issue of how to choose a competent practitioner. One method is to talk with people who have seen a particular therapist and see whether or not they feel that their experience was beneficial. This, of course, is not always possible as one may not be aware of anyone who has been to a hypnotist. Another approach is to consult the phone book or your local community mental health center. Your best bet will usually be a person who is a qualified mental health practitioner, such as a social worker, p s y c h i a t r i c n u r s e , psychiatrist or psychologist. Such a person has a firm grounding in all aspects of mental health care and so is usually capable of providing the highest quality of ser­ vice.

Lakemoor-Lilymoor Area Margaret Karas 385-4934 The old J. C. Bickler McHenry House at the northwest corner of Riverside drive and Pearl street has been pictured before, bat never with this large a group of people or so many cars. The latter is explained on the postcard which carries this notation, "Automobile Headquarters".
