CAHSS Faculty Publishes Article in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis

Douglas Flemons, Ph.D.

Douglas Flemons, Ph.D. professor in the Department of Family Therapy in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS), has published an article in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, Volume 62 (2020). The article is entitled, “Toward a Relational Theory of Hypnosis.” Flemons draws on the ideas of Gregory Bateson, Daniel Siegel, and others, and articulates a relational characterization of mind and self as a vantage from which to reexamine common assumptions about hypnosis and to reconsider several questions still animating the field.

Flemons is the Co-Director of the NSU Office of Suicide and Violence Prevention. His research and teaching interests include suicide assessment, hypnosis and therapy, writing, and psychotherapy.
