The 19th International Supervision Seminar, organised by the German Society for Dental Hypnosis was held recently in Gozo. The Honorary Consul General of Malta in Bremen, Dr. Thomas Stöcker, himself a dentist by trade, who regularly lectures during this seminar, is the driving force in bringing this annual international workshop to Gozo. Dr. Stöcker has been an honorary consul for Malta since 1983. He co-operates closely with the Embassy of Malta in Berlin that supports his endeavours and activities in promoting Malta.

The seminar in Gozo comprised lectures, workshops, supervision and trance touching different fields with regards to the application of hypnosis. During this year’s seminar Dr. Stöcker held a lecture on ‘rapid induction,’, a direct hypnosis procedure, which is used in cases where phobia is involved.

Every year well-known experts gather in Gozo to discuss the latest developments in the field of hypnosis. The seminar is organised by the German Society for Dental Hypnosis (DGZH e.V.) in cooperation with the European Society of Hypnosis and other renowned organisations. It is the aim of the DGZH e.V. to promote the dental hypnosis in theory, research, further training and practical work and to inform on modern dental hypnosis. The society has about 1600 members, most of whom are dentists, doctors or psychologist.

Commenting on the event H.E. Mr. Karl Xuereb Ambassador of Malta to the Federal Republic of Germany stated, "this is an excellent example of the kind of activities that can be organized by Malta’s Consuls to promote Malta and raise awareness of the facilities and services that Malta has to offer."
