Show Thursday, July 12, 1979 Page 11 The Eyes Heal It - .i ' f The various treatments sound like so much hocus pocus medicine: hypnotherapy, hyp-notherapy, autogenics, progressive relaxation. But to therapist Steve Franzen and the patients he helps at LDS Hospital, these methods are a legitimate and effective effec-tive means for treating chronic pain, psychosomatic illnesses and a host of emotional disturbances that may be manifested through Steve Franzen other problems such as obesity or lack of personal motivation. Franzen, a former Park City resident," lives near Kamas and commutes to the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City where he is employed as a counselor and therapist. He holds degrees in psychology and sociology, and is licensed by the state to do social work. His counseling coun-seling experience includes five years of work in a drug and alcohol treatment program in Orange County, California. He also has worked for the Granite Health Department. He plans to start using his home as a night time and weekend office for Summit County area patients. "A lot of people who come to me as patients view my methods as mystical and expect ex-pect some type of miracle Letters To The Editor Continued From Page 2 old, male or female, black or white, amateur or professional, local or out-of-state. All major festivals in the country are juried the same way. Of the 420 total applications (a record in recent years), 228 were from Utah artists, double the number that applied to the "Utah Festival, in Salt Lake City. Out of 169 accepted artists, ar-tists, 96 were Utahns, again, more than are represented in any other festival. Tnir-teen Tnir-teen Park City artists will exhibit their work here, compared with one Parkite in the "Utah" show. The overwhelming reactions reac-tions received from fine artists ar-tists throughout Utah is that they welcome being on an equal basis with artists and craftsmen from across the nation, and the intense competition com-petition adds to the prestige of the Festival. The Park City Arts Festival is the only large festival in the state that accepts out-of-state artists. ar-tists. The diversity they bring to the Festival is one reason it is so special. Other reasons so many fine artists apply are the high standards of quality, a fair jury system, and the fact that the artists are treated with the respect they deserve. They know that our emphasis em-phasis is primarily on visual arts rather than on performing perfor-ming arts and that people come to buy. What a mistake it would be if a Park City address ever became a "tree ticket" into the Festival. The integrity of the jury system would be demolished and the Festival would lose its credibility. The high percentage of Parkites accepted each year, in spite of the fact that identities are unknown, is a compliment to the exceptional excep-tional artists and craftsmen who live and work in Park City. Many of the "notorious outsiders" who arrive in Park City to exhibit their work in the Festival, stay on to become Park City's most famous "locals". It is unfortunate that we cannot please everyone, that we could not accept all 420 entries and we are well aware of the tremendous disappointment involved for those not accepted. However, the fact remains that the Park City Arts Festival, which has come to symbolize the uniqueness of Park City more than any other single event, is directed, direc-ted, operated, and funded by people from its own community. com-munity. The Festival has been fortunate through the years to be nurtured with care by scores of local artists ar-tists and businessmen, whose lives become totally involved with insuring and improving the quality of the Festival. Because of this tremendous support, the Festival now ranks with the finest in the country and this year, on its Tenth Anniversary, Anniver-sary, has special cause to celebrate. A final note concerning Mr. James' comment about the food at the Art Center's annual Membership Party. The Kimball Art Center is a non-profit, tax exempt organization tnat relies on funds from memberships, private and corporate donations, and state and federal grants to keep its doors open. Two of the Art Center's most supportive members are Larry and Linda Nelden, who own the Hickory Farms store in Salt Lake, and who divide their time between the Salt Lake residence and their Park City condominium. More importantly, they donated the food for the Membership Party, all $336 of it! The Kimball Art Center is deeply grateful to the Neldens for their generosity, as it is to all the folks in Park City, Salt Lake City, and those throughout the country who support the Center with memberships and donations. The Art Center is more than happy to accept a like donation of food from any local "deli and catering service" ser-vice" and would be delighted to receive memberships from "Locals" to insure that quality art programs have a future in Park City.

"Others that visit me are skeptical but do so anyway because everything else has failed." Franzen first has a new patient fill out a battery of tests. These help determine what problems the patient has, his susceptibility to various forms of treatment and to what extent he can expect to be cured. Some of Franzen's most common treatment methods include the use of hypnosis. During hypnoanalysis Franzen retrieves information infor-mation from a patient's past history while the patient is in a hypnotic trance. The information in-formation he retrieves may have a bearing on the patient's current ailment. This is similar to psychoanalysis, says Franzen, only much faster. Other Franzen methods in-clude in-clude progressive relaxation (the progressive gaining of control over stress through meditative methods) and biofeedback, through which patients learn a measure of control over such normally involuntary body functions as brain waves, skin and body temperatures tem-peratures (often used as a method to lessen the severity of migraine headaches) and muscle relaxation. Another method is conditioned con-ditioned imagery, whereby a patient imagines himself to be as he would appear if cured the "think thin" approach ap-proach used to help over-weigh' over-weigh' people, only applied on a broader scale. "Because they have been proven to work, medical doctors doc-tors are becoming more and more acceptant of such techniques," says Franzen. Franzen asserts there are sound scientific reasons why his methods work. All of them help relieve stress and tension. This is especially important for those that suffer suf-fer chronic or imagined pain, says Franzen, since the "tenser you are the more difficult dif-ficult it is to control pain." A more interesting explanation ex-planation is the claim by Franzen that these methods trigger the body's own defense mechanisms. One of these includes the manufacture manufac-ture of endorphins by the brain. Endorphin is a chemical cousin to morphine, mor-phine, which helps a person to cope with physical and emotional pain. "In certain states hypnosis, hyp-nosis, biofeedback and transcendental tran-scendental meditation the body produces more endorphins endor-phins than usual," says Franzen. "Tests show that a person under hypnosis can withstand more pain than under normal conditions. However, if the (entranced) person is injected with a or-phine or-phine antagonist (a chemical that counteracts the soothing effects of morh-phine, morh-phine, or the chemically related endorphins) then he is no longer extra pain tolerant." To Franzen, it is very important im-portant to rid patients of reliance on hab:t forming pain-relief drugs and have them develop a reliance on their own defenses. "Pill-taking to relieve pain is so quick and easy that it becomes automatic, often habitual," he says. "In addition, ad-dition, many types of drugs inhibit the body's ability to produce endorphins. This makes it additionally difficult dif-ficult for a patient trying to solve a problem to stop taking pills, since he will experience ex-perience more pain than usual while trying to detoxify de-toxify because his own defenses have been temporarily tem-porarily weakened." What therapy does Franzen use for himself? A lot of exercise, he says, and of course, self-hynosis.
