AI Article Synopsis

  • Growing evidence shows that clinical hypnosis can be beneficial for medical and mental health treatment, but many healthcare professionals aren’t trained in it, which affects their willingness to recommend it.
  • In a study, 37 health professionals completed a survey about their views and experiences with hypnosis before attending a talk on the subject; most had no hypnosis training, but many had experienced it personally.
  • While participants recognized common myths about hypnosis and saw its potential benefits in healthcare, most seldom received inquiries from patients about it and felt that trained and certified individuals should provide hypnosis services.

Article Abstract

Growing evidence supports the use of clinical hypnosis for medical and mental health applications. Most health care professionals lack training in hypnosis, and this may impact their readiness to recommend it. This study examined experiences, attitudes, and interests in hypnosis among health care professionals from a variety of disciplines. Thirty-seven health care professionals completed an online survey prior to attending a talk on hypnosis. Half of survey respondents were physicians or nurses. Most reported no training in hypnosis (70.3%), but half had previously experienced hypnosis. Participants displayed an understanding of common myths and misconceptions regarding hypnosis and felt hypnosis could be useful in health care settings. Despite this, the majority indicated they are rarely or never asked about hypnosis by their patients. A significant majority of survey participants believed individuals providing hypnosis should have both training and certification.
