Bio

Arreed Barabasz, EdD, PhD, ABPP, ATP completed his first doctoral degree at the age of 23,  State University of New York at Albany. His PhD in Clinical and Human Experimental Psychology (Human Factors) is from the University of Canterbury (UC), New Zealand. He conducted sensory deprivation research at UC and in-flight physiological special projects flying the Royal New Zealand Air force CT4. He  tested the effects of isolation (Sensory Deprivation) on EEG and Hypnotic Suggestibility in Antarctica. After completing his B737 type rating (Casino Express Airlines Part 121),  he measured pilots’ quantitative EEG in various phases of instrument flight. Arreed is now Professor Emeritus, Washington State University. Previously he was Associate Professor of Psychology, at Harvard Medical School. He was the Editor of the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (IJCEH)(2002-2018).  He is a licensed psychologist and Diplomat of the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP).

Arreed holds Fellow status for “Outstanding and unusual contributions to the science and practice of psychology,” from the American Psychological Association, the American Psychological Society, and the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (SCEH). By appointment of the Governor,  Arreed served on the WA State Examining Board of Psychology1993-1998. He is Past-President of the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (SCEH) (1999-2001) and Past-President of the American Psychological Association (APA) Society of Psychological Hypnosis (D30) twice (2002-2003 & 2013-2014).

Arreed has published over 140 refereed research papers and received national awards for his achievements in research, theory, and practice. Examples include: four-time winner of the Henry Guze Award from SCEH “for best research paper published in the previous year,” “best theoretical paper” from SCEH, APA-D30 and Distinguished Contributions to Science from APA. Four of his award winning books were published by Brunner Routledge/Taylor & Francis.

He  received the “Best Published Research Paper” Award from the American Psychological Association D30 in 2014, and the “Distinguished Contributions to Professional Hypnosis” award in 2015.  In 2015, Dr. Barabasz won the Morton Prince Award “In recognition of distinguished contributions to the development of hypnosis in the science and profession of psychology” from the American Board of Psychological Hypnosis.

Arreed’s Part 121 training and flying by Casino Express Airlines (CXP) and Simulator Training Inc. (STI).  He holds an Airline Transport  Pilot (ATP) license and is  type rated  (Captain)Boeing 737-200 & CE-500.

His current (2-2024) personal aircraft include a FIKI equipped A36 Bonanza, Ex-RAF Bulldog & a modified (380 hp) Marchetti SF260B/Warrior. He flies with the Cascade Warbirds and is working toward competing in the aerobatic Sportsman class.

Note: The STI B-737 Sim. was a Grandfathered A/B Cat. So the three Ts & Ls were still required in the airplane. Unfortunately, one of the two Casino Express B737s was down for a D check and the 30 days from passing the Sim check expired for the Ts and Ls. Higher Power Aviation (Dallas) had an arrangement with Flight Safety to do the type rating in a D Cat. Sim. so all I had to do was their FAA approved systems class, retake the oral and then do the check ride in the D cat.   I passed the oral again on 5/15/97 and B737 check ride on 6/15/97 including the three landings in the D cat. Sim., Dallas).

Given the time lapses the offered flying position at Casino Express had been filled. I was promised I would get the next slot.

• 1999 More than the two year limit elapsed. Thus, according to FAA regulations Arreed had to retake the  Part 121 Casino Express  (CXP) 160 hour company ground school at Sim. Training Inc. (SEA) Written exam passed again 98% etc. Thankfully, accommodation etc. paid by CXP.  IOE completed etc.
