EDUCATION

1986     Ph.D. - Psychology
Union Graduate School
Cincinnati, Ohio

Dissertation Title: "The Case of the Quiet Little Storms", a study in hypnotherapy within the psychology of the Adlerian framework in treating a client with epileptic seizures.  Laser's study supports the idea that the combination of hypnotherapy techniques with an Adlerian therapeutic framework is a successful modality in the treatment of a client with epileptic seizures.  The study also demonstrates the successful use of hypnotherapy in eliciting early recollections (ER's) in a client having difficulty producing ER's in the waking state.
