Can Hypnotherapy Have a Place in UK Courts? With Forensic Psychologist George Dimitrov

Episode 8 of In The Pod

Hypnotherapy and the legal system might not be an obvious pairing. But for forensic psychologist, psychotherapist, and expert witness George Dimitrov, the two have intersected throughout his career in ways that challenge some assumptions about what psychological practice can look like.

In this episode of In The Pod, host and expert witness team manager Daisy Hill sits down with George to explore a career that spans clinical practice, forensic psychology, expert witness work, and his role as a director of the International Hypnotherapy Association in the UK.

George talks candidly about some of the more unusual cases he has worked on, his experience at the Ministry of Interior, and his research into how hypnotherapy is used within legal and investigative contexts in other countries. He also shares his thinking on where, and under what conditions, hypnotherapy might have a valuable place within the UK court system.

It is a fascinating conversation that covers a vast and interesting career.
