Welcome to The International Hypnosis Research Institute Web site. Our intention is to support and promote the further worldwide integration of comprehensive evidence-based research and clinical hypnotherapy with mainstream mental health, medicine, and coaching. We do so by disseminating, supporting, and conducting research, providing professional level education, advocating increased level of practitioner competency, and supporting the viability and success of clinical practitioners. Although currently over 80% of our membership is comprised of mental health practitioners, we fully recognize the role, support, involvement, and needs of those in the medical and coaching fields. This site is not intended as a source of medical or psychological advice. Tim Brunson, PhD

Continued Guided Imagery Practice Increases Desired Outcomes



Researchers from The University of Cincinnati analyzed data from ten different guided imagery studies to assess the trajectory of effect size with continued imagery practice, and the relationship between practice duration and strength of outcomes. .

Statistical findings of the ten different studies of various durations were converted to "d" statistics and plotted against the duration of study. The results showed an increase in the effect size of guided imagery over the first 5 to 7 weeks. However, it appeared that the effect was decreased at 18 weeks.
