Good Will Hunting: Hypnotherapy
The movie that I chose is Good Will Hunting. The theories that I was able to recognize at first was the Hypnotherapy. I recall slightly discussing this therapy in class. However, I did some research and it is link to psychotherapy through a hypnotic state which allows people to explore painful thoughts, according to the American Psychological Association. However, Will was not about this type of therapy, I got to say it, Will was extremely smart. I felt that hypnotherapy is not the best way for therapy in his case.

    When comparing group hypnotherapy to The Projective Method there are obvious differences. To begin, group hypnotherapy, in this case, focuses specifically on one group of individuals with a shared illness and situation which is unlike The Projective Method that tends to be used in a diverse group. However, hypnotherapy and The Projective Method do share a common approach of addressing an individuals personal self and the development that they can achieve personally within the group. For hypnotherapy this comes from internal enlightenment whereas in The Projective Method it comes from association ( “ if this were my dream”) but both draw on the importance of looking into the self.…

    The term “Hypnosis” often conveys images of a strange, powerful Svengali-like character swinging a pendulum, dressed flamboyantly, getting the hypnotised subject to behave in ways they wouldn’t ordinarily behave. He is a creepy character with spirals for eyes, who exerts power and control over his subjects for his own personal gain. There is a stage full of mind-controlled individuals completely at the mercy of this character, and it is only at his will will they be released from the strange trance-like state he has put them under. We might visualise Paul McKenna or Derren Brown, modern day hypnotists, making those “victims” perform silly or embarrassing stunts on stage for the amusement of the audience. The public’s misconception that hypnotism is somehow connected to the occult has arisen due to the evil hypnotists portrayed in Hollywood movies and also watching stage hypnotists perform such acts on stage. Stage hypnosis is performed by such characters above for amusement and entertainment, hypnosis used in a therapeutic setting is purely for the benefit of the subject.…

    4.1 Following on from Abraham Maslow’s (1908-70) work on well known Hierarchy of Needs, American psychologist, Carl Rogers (1902-87) developed humanistic therapy known as Person-Centered Therapy (PCT).The basic belief of this therapy is for the therapist to develop a more personal relationship with the client, to help the client reach a state of understanding that they can help themselves. This idea can be achieved by encouraging the person towards growth, placing great stress on the present situation rather than the past.PCT espouses the belief that where three necessary conditions are present in the counseling process, then the conditions will be sufficient for the client to move forward to finding solutions to their problems. These three so-called Core Conditions are-: 1 the therapist is congruent with the client.2The therapist provides the client with unconditional positive regard.3The therapist shows empathetic understanding to the client. The presence of these conditions in therapy allows a person’s actualizing tendency to be triggered and developed. A central belief of PCT is that the client knows better. It is the client who understands in what ways he/she is unhappy, and it is the client who best knows how to solve these problems.…
