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

There is an inner power of healing so great that it can shift matter and transform illness. The mind, together with the powers of higher consciousness, can shrink tumors, cause blood to pump faster or more slowly, and create great mind-body shifts. Here we'll look at how personal and creative inner imagery, metaphysical healing, connection with the healing power, and transformation of attitude--together with nutritional and other life changes--can heal life-threatening illnesses.

The mind is electromagnetic. It has magnetism and vibration, and it can magnetize or draw in healing events via healing thoughts. This is how it can shift matter. And because we all have creative capabilities, we don't need scripts or stock visualizations to heal. There is healing imagery in the imagination of each individual. This is personal, intrinsic healing, and it has great power.

Men are grass: Bateson, Erickson, utilization and metaphor.

The relationship between metaphor and the practice of utilization in therapy and hypnosis can be seen as dependent on metaphor's role in structuring experience. The work of Gregory Bateson and others is used to illustrate how metaphor functions. Bateson's comparison of two forms of syllogistic logic provides a background for distinguishing between the experiential effects of metaphor in contrast to the categorical thinking inherent in simile and analogy. Clinical examples are given to demonstrate how utilization is structured by metaphor, particularly as Bateson has described it in his analysis of the Syllogism in Grass.

by Anne H. Spencer. Ph.D.

You have healing power! This is a truism that everyone can honor if they will let the energy flow. Mother's rub their babies back and the little child falls into a peaceful sleep. Nurses stroke infants in Intensive Care and they rest easily. Daddies kiss skinned knees and they are all better. Sisters hold the dying and they slip into heavenly bliss. Therapists touch clients and relaxation occurs. What is this "Mystical Power?"
