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

Sidney Rosen, MD



Dr. Sidney Rosen is, perhaps, the therapist in New York who is most experienced in teaching and using the applications of hypnotic approaches to the treatment of psychological and psychosomatic disturbances and problems. Having discovered hypnosis at age 15, he continued experimenting with it throughout his medical training. Except for a 15 year hiatus while undergoing training as a psychoanalyst, he has continued his explorations, most recently in the development of techniques for "waking self hypnosis". Since his retirement from regular teaching through NYSEPH he has been available for the treatment of patients in his private practice and for the supervision of qualified therapists.

Healthy Eating versus Eating to Survive



by Tim Brunson, PhD

As nutrition is so vital to our body's health, why do so many of us turn this necessity into a problem? Normally, the answer lies in the fact that we have corrupted many of the natural capabilities of our brain. We have learned that eating not only serves as a requirement to provide nutrients to our cells and organs, it has somehow become linked to our stress-fighting defense mechanism. So, how do we transition from eating for stress to once again primarily eating for health?
