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

In a study by Harvey, Hinton, Gunary and Barry from the Gastroenterology Unit at Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, England, 33 patients with irritable bowel syndrome were treated with four 40-minute sessions of hypnotherapy over 7 weeks.

Twenty patients improved, 11 of whom lost nearly all symptoms. Short term improvement was maintained for 3 months without further formal treatment. Hypnotherapy in groups of up to 8 patients was as effective as individual therapy.
