About Joseph S. Plowman, M.Sc. (Developer of Phenomenal Psychology, Eudaimonic and Phenomenal Hypnotherapy and Eudaimonic and Phenomenal Coaching™)
Joseph has almost two decades studying, teaching, and researching hypnosis and psychology. He has a First Class Honours degree in Psychology from the University of South Wales, Glamorgan (2006; his thesis was on lie-detection and emotional intelligence), and a Masters in Applied Psychology from Trinity College, Dublin (2008). His thesis for this award was on emotional expertise, drawing on research with experienced Buddhist meditators and lie-detection 'Wizards'. Related to this research he holds an expert certification in facial expression recognition, based on the research of Prof. Paul Ekman, one of the foremost emotion researchers in the world.
Joseph is also a registered advanced hypnotherapy practitioner with the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR), having trained many years ago (2001) even prior to his psychology training, including with the world-renowned hypnosis expert Dr. Michael D. Yapko. (Dr Yapko's book, 'Trancework', is regarded as the essential text on clinical hypnosis. His integrity and dedication is a constant inspiration.) Joseph also has training certificates in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy skills and a Diploma in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, which he blends with hypnotherapy, and certificates in 'Teaching Happiness' and 'Teaching Hope', among others. He is also an accredited practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming.
Moreover, Joseph is a Founding Member of the Centre for Applied Positive Psychology in the UK, which is a think-and-do tank aimed at disseminating the science and interventions of Positive Psychology. This centre is headed by world experts in the field. Joseph also has membership with the European Network for Positive Psychology. Joseph uses positive psychology research and insights in combination with hypnosis.
Lastly, Joseph is a member of the premier science-based organisation for Coaching Psychology in Europe, the International Society for Coaching Psychology. Unlike the many life and performance coaches around, membership to the ISCP is only open to graduates of psychology so as to ensure a scientific basis to practice and reflection. As a result, Joseph seeks to use evidence-based approaches (such as positive psychology), and recognised expert scholarship, to facilitate change.
Currently, Joseph writes and lectures on the psychology, child psychology, mental health awareness, and applied psychology courses with The Open College (www.theopencollege.com) as their QQI psychology tutor, a post he has held for many years. Moreover, he has developed a new 'Positive Psychology and Self-Hypnosis' course which gives a comprehensive overview of the science of positive psychology, as well as incorporating an experiential component based on hypnotic and coaching psychology methods. This is the first course of its kind in Ireland!
