Abstract/OtherAbstract:
From the origins of mysticism and theatrics, trivialized by stage performers, psychics, and charlatans, modern medical hypnosis has struggled to achieve and maintain a sense of professional integrity. Many of the principles of dynamic psychiatry are deeply rooted in the work of the early healers. Yet hypnosis as a clinical entity continues to fall in and out of favor over the years; again it is now being pushed beyond the limits of that which is reasonable and valid.
