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

When 45 Australian children with histories of ten or more upper respiratory tract infections were taught stress management and guided imagery, their episodes of illness were shorter and symptoms milder at the one-year follow-up than for the kids who were wait-listed.

In addition, their psychological state remained improved as well. These findings were confirmed in a subsequent replication study, suggesting that psychological treatment interrupts a chronic illness cycle in children with symptoms of recurrent URTI.
