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

Patients can't wait, and why should they?



The three Ds of disease, disability, and discomfort negatively affect hospice patient's energy, intelligence, and organization. Music therapy is a studied, learned, credentialed behavioral intervention. It is specific, prescribed, and delivered therapeutically. At a time when trust and belief are compromised by the three Ds, the utilization of the complementary alternative medical intervention of music therapy, with its positive effect on social relationships, may enhance weakened trust and belief abilities. The research to date regarding music therapy presents positive results from studies and surveys of nurses, music therapists, families, and patients. Recommendations for using music therapy and music therapists will establish the use of this intervention, giving increased numbers to sample sizes for further study.
