Using Hypnosis as Adjunct Care in Mental Health Nursing.
Although hypnosis was accepted in 1958 by the American Medical Association as an adjunct treatment, it remains an underused modality for alleviation of clients' suffering. This hesitancy to apply established practices that show efficacy in patient care may be due to a general lack of cognizance about the therapeutic benefits of hypnosis or a reluctance to learn skills based on preconceptions about hypnosis itself. The purpose of this article is to provide evidence of the efficacy of hypnosis as an adjunct treatment in the healing professions and explain hypnosis in a manner consistent with the core values of nursing as defined by the American Nurses Association. Implications for mental health nursing practice will be explored.
