The Australian Society of Hypnosis WA Branch Inc. History
By all accounts, the West Australian Society for Medical Hypnosis (WASMH) – which merged with the WA Branch of ASH to become ASH WA – was the first hypnosis society in the country to offer clinical hypnotherapy courses leading to a fellowship.
Dr A.E. (Manny) Bernstien and a small group of doctors and psychologists founded WASMH in 1971. We have trained hundreds of healthcare professionals since the International Society of Hypnosis (ISH) accepted WASMH as a society and training facility.
WASMH and ASH WA merged in 1989, and the new body became the Australian Society of Hypnosis WA Branch (ASH WA), offering medical hypnotherapy training. Private citizens can obtain a referral list of qualified hypnotherapists, advice, and information via telephone and email.
