Who is Bruce N. Eimer, Ph.D., ABPP? I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and a Board Certified Diplomate with the American Board of Professional Psychology in the specialty of Behavioral Psychology. I am also certified as a school psychologist in Pennsylvania and New York. I also hold Board Certifications in Pain Management, Medical Psychotherapy, and Vocational Neuropsychology.

I am a Fellow with the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis and Certified as an Approved Consultant in Clinical Hypnosis. I am a lifetime member of the American Psychological Association and the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

I earned my Ph.D. in Educational and School Psychology in 1981 at the State University of New York at Albany. In addition, I went on to re-specialize in Clinical Psychology by taking a three-year Psy.D. residency in Hahnemann University's Department of Psychiatry between 1983 and 1986. I’ve been licensed as a practicing psychologist in Pennsylvania since 1986.

I am the author of the self-help book, Hypnotize Yourself Out Of Pain Now! (Published in 2002 by New Harbinger Publications) and the co-author with Moshe S. Torem, M.D. of the self-help book, Coping With Uncertainty: 10 Simple Solutions (2003. Same publisher).

I am also the senior author of the textbook, Pain Management Psychotherapy: A Practical Guide (Published in 1998 by John Wiley, 517 pages) and the co-author of the textbook, Brief Cognitive Hypnosis: Facilitating the Change of Dysfunctional Behavior with Jordan I. Zarren, M.S.W. (Published in 2001 by Springer Publishing Company).

I myself suffer from chronic neck, back and leg pain as well as arthritis and thus I have first hand experience of what it is like to live with persistent disabling pain.

My Specialties

• I specialize in Brief Clinical Hypnosis and Brief Hypnotherapy for the treatment of chronic pain, psychosomatic problems, post-concussion syndrome and brain injury, habit disorders (e.g., Stop Smoking In One Visit, Eating and Weight Problems), anxiety disorders (e.g., phobias, generalized anxiety and posttraumatic stress), and mood problems (e.g., depression).

• I do forensic and expert witness consultation in the areas of brain injury evaluations, pain and personal injury, posttraumatic stress, disability issues, malpractice litigation, criminal cases, and hypnosis.

• I do forensic hypnosis in criminal cases.

I have been an Adjunct Clinical Professor at several universities in the Philadelphia area, including: Widener University's Institute for Graduate Clinical Psychology, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine's Psy.D. Clinical Psychology Program, and the University of the Art's Professional Institute for Educators.
