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

Dr. Lisa K. Mannix MD of the Adelman Headache Center in Greensboro, NC reported at the American Association for the Study of Headache that she added guided imagery audiotapes to the course of treatment of half her headache patients in a 250-person study. The imagery group listened to the tape daily for one month. Mannix found that a significantly greater proportion of imagery patients (21.7% of 129, as opposed to 7.6% of 131 controls) reported an overall improvement in their headaches.
