Assen Alladin Conference Scholarships for Student and Trainees

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION DEADLINE:  April 22, 2024

The Society for Clinical & Experimental Hypnosis (SCEH) is pleased to announce the Assen Alladin Conference Scholarship to encourage eligible trainees to learn about hypnosis and its relevance to their work. Applicants with no prior study or experience in hypnosis are especially encouraged to apply. SCEH invites trainees to submit a research paper for presentation at the Scientific Program on treating psychological distress or psychiatric illness using autogenic training, biofeedback, cognitive behavioral therapy and third-wave therapies, breathing techniques, guided imagery, mindfulness, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, or yoga. The focus on these areas acknowledges the similarities these techniques share with hypnosis and encourages reflection on areas of shared and divergent conceptualization and methodology.

The scholarship winners will be expected to register for and attend the conference, attend the Introductory Workshop on Hypnosis (October 23-27, 2024), and present their papers during the Scientific Program (October 27-28).

Aims

The principal aim of this scholarship is to encourage eligible trainees to consider and study hypnosis in their research and clinical work in psychological distress or psychiatric illness. The focus on psychological distress or psychiatric illness recognizes Dr. Alladin’s contributions to the alleviation of these conditions through his research, clinical work, and teaching.

Scholarship Award Amount

The total annual distribution for this conference scholarship will be determined based on the Scholarship Committee’s evaluation of the submitted applications and scholarship funds' availability. Up to four individual awards of up to $2,000.00 each to cover travel costs to the 2024 75th Annual Workshops & Scientific Program (October 23-27, 2024 in Anaheim, California) will be awarded. The scholarship also reimburses hotel accommodation in the conference hotel for up to 4 nights (Wednesday through Saturday night of the conference) at the conference room rate. The conference registration fee will be waived. All scholarship recipients must complete a conference registration form.

Eligibility

Trainees (students, interns, residents, fellows or equivalent) currently registered or enrolled, at the time of the application process, in programs leading to the following degrees are eligible to apply: physicians, dentists, doctoral-level speech pathologists and pharmacists, doctoral-level practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine), masters or higher degree in psychology, marital/family therapy (or couples/family therapy), counseling, nursing, physician assistants, social work (accredited by the Council on Social Work Education), health coaching, or physical or occupational therapy.
