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.

The recognition and utilization of trance phenomena in clinical pediatrics can energize the practitioner and be therapeutically beneficial for the child. The aim of this paper is to characterize and promote the purposeful inclusion of trance and suggestion in the routine pediatric examination. This includes, but goes beyond, the child-oriented examination skills customarily associated with being a "good," child-friendly pediatrician. While this paper highlights trance recognition from a clinician's perspective, emphasis is placed on utilizing spontaneous hypnotic moments whenever they occur to further the agenda of the encounter, diminish doctor visit anxiety, enhance self empowerment, and improve the milieu for pediatric care.
