	The Benefits of Working With a “Dead” Patient: Hypnotically Facilitated Pseudo Near-death Experiences This article, published in AJCH in 1999 (citation below), is a detailed discussion of one of my favorite applications of hypnosis. The paper was presented at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association later that year, and at a meeting of the Georgia Hypnosis Society in 2000. Since then it has also been presented at meetings of the Georgia Psychological Association and the Georgia Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. It provided the basis for my second book: The Clinical Use of Hypnotic Dreams: Exploring Near-Death Experiences Without the Flatlines, published in 2006 by Crown House Publishing. Abstract The literature on near-death experiences is consistent in describing how such events are typically transformative. Utilizing standard hypnotic techniques, therapists can approximate many of the therapeutic aspects of such experiences, without the life-or-death crisis, to facilitate both first and second order change in psychotherapy. This article explores the use of hypnotically facilitated waking dreams as an interactive projective technique. The focus is on the varied ways that the dream components which correlate with near-death experiences can evoke durable change. Published: American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis,(1999), 42:1, 36-49.
	Family/Systems Therapy in the Fourth Dimension: A Theoretical Model for Past Life Therapy  This paper has two versions. The version above, which was published in 2009 in the Australian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, uses case studies from my own clinical practice. The one listed below uses the well known case study of Catherine from Dr. Brian Weiss' first book Many Lives, Many Masters. Along with the AJCH article published in 1999, this article became part of the basis for my second book:  The Clinical Use of Hypnotic Dreams: Exploring Near-Death Experiences Without the Flatlines, published in 2006 by Crown House Publishing. Abstract The author presents a layered genogram model for conceptualizing and utilizing hypnotic phenomena of the "past life" type. In an earlier article (Schenk, 1999) he discussed a different model which bypasses the question of reincarnation by interpreting the patient's "waking dream" as a purely metaphorical projection from the unconscious, consistent with the theories of therapists like Freud, Jung, Perls, and Sacerdote. The model presented here incorporates reincarnation concepts by adding a fourth dimension to family/systems models of psychotherapy. The article then applies the model to several case studies to demonstrate some of its clinical applications. Whether the hypnotic imagery is understood as factual or symbolic, a growing body of literature indicates that treatment strategies associated with past life therapy are often effective in treating Axis I symptoms which have not responded to other treatment approaches. These techniques can also bring about, albeit more slowly, durable Axis II personality changes similar to those seen as sequella of near-death experiences. With the two models as theoretical foundations, the author hopes to stimulate more widespread research into the therapeutic implications of these hypnotic techniques, independent of either the therapist's or client's beliefs about the reincarnation question.
