“…While interest in clinical hypnosis has increased (see Lynn & Rhue, 1991), and substantial numbers of mental health professionals use hypnosis regularly to treat a wide range of problems (Kraft & Rudolfa, 1982), the field has also become more scientifically oriented (Fromm & Nash, 1993;Kraft & Rudolfa, 1982). Nash, Minton, and Baldridge (1988) surveyed more than 3, 500 scientific articles on hypnosis and found that the number of articles on this topic sharply increased (more than any other period) during the most recent 4-year period (1982)(1983)(1984)(1985) sampled. Cross fertilization of the clinical and research domains can be seen in recent compendiums of hypnosis research (Fromm & Nash, 1993), hypnotherapeutic approaches (Rhue, Lynn, & Kirsch, 1994), and theories of hypnosis (Lynn & Rhue, 1991), which all include discussions of clinical research.…”

“…Meta-analyses (Kirsch, Montgomery, & Sapirstein, 1995;Smith, Glass, & Miller, 1980) have demonstrated that the addition of hypnosis to cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic treatments substantially enhances their efficacy, and researchers have made important contributions to understanding hypnosis, assuring that clinical hypnosis can be more firmly grounded in scientific findings (see Nash et al, 1988).…”

Since the beginning of recorded history, procedures that today are labeled suggestive have been used to treat a wide range of psychological disturbances and physical conditions (Gravitz, 1991;Spanos & Chaves, 1991). The seemingly magical and dramatic changes in hypnotized subjects' appearance, experiences, and behaviors have largely been responsible for the widespread interest in hypnosis both as a catalyst for psychological and physical treatments and as a fascinating phenomenon in its own right.Hypnosis is enjoying a wave of popularity (see Lynn & Rhue, 1991a). Not only do substantial numbers of mental health professionals use hypnosis regularly to treat a wide range of problems (Kraft & Rudolfa, 1982; Rhue, Lynn, & Kirsch, 1993), but also hypnosis has moved into the orbit of mainstream psychology. This latter observation is evidenced by the sharp increase in the number of hypnosis articles, spanning a wide range of disciplines, that has been published in recent years (Nash, Minton, & Baldridge, 1988). The cross-fertilization of the clinical and research domains can be seen in recent compendiums of hypnosis research (Fromm & Nash, 1992), hypnotherapeutic approaches (Rhue et al., 1993), and theories of hypnosis (Lynn & Rhue, 1991a), which all contain discussions of clinical work (see Lynn, 1994). Clinicians have responded to the lure of seemingly powerful experiential techniques with a boom of interest in incorporating hypnosis into 3

The status of hypnosis as an empirically validated clinical intervention: A preamble to the special issue

In his introductory remarks to this Journal's special issue on the status of hypnosis as an empirically supported clinical intervention, the editor briefly describes the dawn of clinical hypnosis research, the logic of the natural science model, the importance of an inspired but tough-minded clinical science, and the auspicious confluence of practice and research purpose in this enterprise. The progenitor of this effort was indeed the Report of the Royal Commission coauthored by Benjamin Franklin and Antoine Lavoisier, among others, more than 215 years ago--a report noted as one of the most important documents in the history of human reason. The ethos and logic of this special issue is grounded on the legacy of that document. Eschewing the conflicting mental health agendas of managed-care, government, patient rights, and professional guild interests, this special issue seeks to present a frank, evenhanded, informed, and dispassionate assessment of what science knows and does not know about clinical hypnosis.
