Aims & Objectives To encourage and promote excellence in the use of Hypnosis by registered Medical and Dental practitioners; to advance scientific research, education and standards of practice in Hypnosis; and to advise others about the value, application, and ethical use of Hypnosis. For what is Hypnosis used? Hypnosis has been successfully used to alleviate problems from the time of pre-history and is one of the oldest of medical treatments. Whilst other therapies have come and gone, hypnosis has withstood the test of time, and remains as powerful and as useful a treatment as it was then.
