Mind-body medicine is a system of health practices that includes meditation/relaxation training, guided imagery, hypnosis, biofeedback, yoga, art/music therapy, prayer, t'ai chi, and psychological therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Clinical hypnosis is an important mind-body tool that serves as an adjunct to conventional medical care for the adolescent patient. Clinical hypnosis specifically uses self-directed therapeutic suggestions to cultivate the imagination and facilitate the mind-body connection, leading to positive emotional and physical well-being. There are many similarities between clinical hypnosis and other mind-body/self-regulatory modalities such as visual imagery, mindfulness meditation, yoga, and biofeedback that incorporate experiential learning and mechanisms for change. They may be viewed as subtypes of the hypnotic experience and share the common experience of trance as the entrée into self-empowered change in physiologic and psychological states. Clinical hypnosis can be used by health care providers to teach adolescents coping skills to deal with a wide variety of conditions such as chronic headaches, recurrent abdominal pain, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, phobias, anger, family stressors, sleep disorders, or enuresis. Clinical vignettes are given to help illustrate the effectiveness of hypnosis in adolescents.

“…"Between 60 and 90% of those seen in a primary care office have symptoms or illnesses which can be attributed to stress and lifestyle habits," according to Benson (1992). Mind-body interventions are easy to teach and learn (Chiarmonte, 1997) and have been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms (Coker, 1999;Nakao, 2001) when used in conjunction with conventional medical treatments (Chiarmonte, 1997). In addition, they are cost effective (Sobel, 2000).…”

A lternative medicine is here to stay. It is no longer an option to ignore it or treat it as something outside the normal processes of science and medicine. The challenge is to move forward carefully, using both reason and wisdom, as we attempt to separate the pearls from the mud," according to Jonas (1998). Individuals are looking to health care professionals for information and guidance about alternatives to conventional health care. This creates an opportunity, but also a burden for some occupational health nurses to obtain the most current and accurate information in the constantly changing field commonly known as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Every day the media shares new studies about this topic. Is the correct term natural therapies; or natural, holistic, integrative, alternative, complementary, traditional, nonconventional, or Eastern medicine? At times, current information negates previous research. Daily reports describe new herb and drug warnings including interactions, side effects of herbs, and poor quality of many herbal products. Occupational health nurses with even a basic knowledge of CAM are in a position to guide employees as they sort through information and find ways to promote health and prevent disease. This article informs occupational health nurses about various aspects of CAM, including ways to begin integrating some therapies into the occupational health setting. USE OF CAM "CAM is based on the belief that human beings are living energy systems rather than an arrangement of parts.
