Dental Phobia

Synopsis: Shows David Simons, dentist and hypnotist, working with a patient who is phobic about seeing a dentist. Considers the theory of behavioural desensitisation and conditioned response re-learning as it applies to the dental phobic patient and shows work with the patient, demonstrating the importance of the patient’s control and the ‘positive anchor’. After progressing through a hierarchy of unpleasant dental situations, there is a development of pleasant learned resonses. The encouragement is temepered throughout with warnings about the use of the method.
