Bibliography: “Hypnotherapy and Poetry Articles Bibliography”

Subject: Joshua asked me to investigate the use of hypnotherapy in the construction of poetry. He gave me two resources he had previously found that referred to this process as “trance poetry”. He said he wanted to expand even further than this in order to create a pamphlet about the topic. A pamphlet is a 10-page paper booklet usually used for education purposes. Below I detail why each of these items is relevant. At the end, two items that I found in my search that were not relevant are included along with explanation.

Adams, Peter. "Language, Mysticism, and Hypnotizability: a Brief Communication." International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. 56.1 (2008): 73-82. Print.

            This discussed the use of hypnotherapy as an experiment with language.

Blanchard, Margaret, and S B. Sowbel. "The Breaking of Waves in a Steady Surf: the Transformative Power of Rhythm and Emotion in Poetry." Journal of Poetry Therapy. 18.1 (2005): 249-263. Print.

            Although not directly related to hypnotherapy, this article referenced a poet associated with Wave and her work in poetry therapy.

Cirillo, Leonard, and Cathleen Crider. "Distinctive Therapeutic Uses Of Metaphor." Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training 32.4 (1995): 511-519. Print.

            Metaphor is huge part of poetry and the use of it coupled with hypnotherapy is loosely related to the topic assigned.

            The title (as well as the content) directly links the subject. An added bonus: CA Conrad is a Wave poet.

Janet Zweig Website

Although this site was included as a resource in one of books Joshua gave me, it did not provide any relevant information to the topic. This was true for the majority of this publication’s bibliography.
