First published in 1993. Historically, hypnotherapy has been
assiduously avoided in the treatment of psychotics. One of the
myths around this is that hypnosis is too all-powerful- that it can
precipitate psychosis in patients with fragile egos. This myth was
disproved by Milton Erickson, the master psychiatrist whose
extensive work with hypnotherapy is the basis for Yvonne Dolan's
work on the treatment of chronic patients. Erickson was the first
practitioner to consistently demonstrate the efficacy of formal and
informal hypnotherapy with schizophrenics, and now Dolan has
advanced Erickson's naturalistic techniques with her practical and
common sense techniques.

Clients and solution-focused therapists often accomplish
remarkableresults under seemingly hopeless
economic/political/social conditions.In this book mental health and
social service professionals worldwidereveal how small actions can
yield big changes in people's lives.
This approach enables clients to find relief from symptoms stemming
from or related to the sexual abuse, to alter feelings associated
with memories of trauma so that flashbacks become less intrusive,
and to develop a positive, practical, and healthy future
orientation. In short, clients experience healing and begin to live
satisfying lives. Yvonne Dolan works from the assumption that,
despite the traumas they have endured, clients have the inner
resources to create uniquely effective solutions to their problems.
Both solution-oriented and hypnotic techniques are used to tap
those resources in the context of a safe, respectful relationship.
Clients are encouraged to trust themselves, to move at their own
right pace, and to recognize and build on tiny signs of healing.
Ericksonian techniques are particularly powerful in enabling
clients to resolve dissociated traumatic experiences, experience
corrective development learnings, and turn the symptom of
dissociation into a resource for healing. Solution-focused therapy
ensures that clients not only resolve past sexual abuse but also
form a clear map of functional behaviors and perceptions to replace
trauma-based ones. Specific strategies are offered for treatment of
post-traumatic amnesia, self-mutilation, sexual dysfunctions,
memory problems, and a multitude of other symptoms. While the
treatment is primarily individual, supportive family members and
friends are invited to sessions, where they learn to assist
survivors in ways that are comforting and healing. Rather than
obsessively going over the traumatic events of the past, both
clients and supportive family members are guided to notice signs of
improvement, to identify actions and words that are helpful, and to
do more of what works. In addition, the therapist and client plan
strategies for dealing with nonsupportive family members and with
perpetrators. In effect, Resolving Sexual Abuse shows therapists
and clients how to imagine a healthy, satisfying future-and then
move toward it with confidence and success.
