This paper advocates for all child clinicians to learn hypnosis skills as a distinct advantage to enhance their understanding of child development in the treatment of children. It examines the interface of child development and hypnosis. Clinical hypnosis with children follows the child's developmentally determined self-expressions. The clinician must tend to the way in which the child expresses a "problem," structuring treatment goals and pace, and evoking and utilizing opportunities for therapeutic suggestion. This article defines hypnosis as a set of skills and principles. It defines trance as psychoneurobiological plasticity. Eight variables, shared across therapeutic interventions, are explored in the context of working hypnotically with children and adolescents. These are 1) Relationships, rapport, attachment; 2) Attention, absorption, focus; 3) Use of language and therapeutic suggestions; 4) Expectations; 5) Resources; 6) Dissociation and Unconscious; 7) Trauma parallels with trance; 8) Development. Becoming hypnosis-informed is the ABC's, & D, for child clinicians. A case illustrates the application of skills, principles, and variables.
本文主张所有儿童临床医生都学习催眠技能，这是增强他们在儿童治疗中对儿童发展理解的独特优势。它考察了儿童发展和催眠之间的接口。儿童临床催眠遵循儿童发展决定的自我表达。临床医生必须关注孩子表达“问题”的方式，构建治疗目标和节奏，并唤起和利用治疗建议的机会。本文将催眠定义为一套技能和原则。它将恍惚定义为心理神经生物学可塑性。本文在与儿童和青少年进行催眠治疗的背景下探讨了治疗干预中共同存在的八个变量，包括 1）关系、融洽、依恋；2）注意力、吸收、专注；3）语言使用和治疗建议；4）期望；5）资源；6）分离和无意识；7）创伤与恍惚的平行关系；8）发展。对儿童临床医生来说，接受催眠培训就是掌握 ABC's 和 D。一个案例说明了技能、原则和变量的应用。
