Brief Biographical Summary:
Dr. Herbert Spiegel: 1914-2009
Clinician, researcher, author and teacher in New York City: 1946-2009. Dr. Spiegel developed treatment strategies with hypnosis for smoking cessation, habit control, anxiety, insomnia, dissociative disorders, personality disorders, trauma and psychological issues as a result of medical problems. Over the years, he has studied and treated over 50,000 people.
Herbert Spiegel trained in psychoanalysis at the William A. White Institute under the supervision of Harry Stack Sullivan, Erich Fromm and Frieda Fromm-Reichman. As a battalion surgeon during WWII, he learned the psycho-physiological effects of trauma, the effectiveness of immediate psychological treatment to prevent psychiatric illness and the role of hypnosis in crisis management.
In the 1960's Dr. Spiegel discovered the Eye Roll Sign (ERS) as a measure of personality style & dissociative capacity. During that time he also developed the Hypnotic Induction Profile, a measure of hypnotizability used to individualize treatment strategies, predict treatment outcome and diagnose the presence or absence of psychological health. These measures, but the ERS in particular, remain both innovative & trailblazing in their implications for assessment of brain-mind processing.
From 1960 — 1982, Dr. Spiegel was Clinical Professor of Psychiatry on the faculty at the College of Physicians & Surgeons at Columbia University, where he served as Special Lecturer in Psychiatry until 2009.
For 22 years he introduced mind-body concepts with hypnosis to medical students, residents, physicians and surgeons in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia, conducting the longest running post-graduate course on clinical hypnosis.
For decades, Dr. Spiegel conducted annual courses for the American Psychiatric Association on hypnosis and brief psychotherapy and was an Adjunct Professor of Psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, sharing his expertise on brain-washing, high hypnotizability and the "honest liar" syndrome.
