ABSTRACT

A recent survey conducted by the Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis Task Force for Efficacy Standards in Hypnosis Research found that clinicians reported using one or more of several different styles of hypnosis in their work. The most common of these was Ericksonian, used by over 2/3rds of clinicians, followed by hypnotic relaxation therapy and traditional hypnosis. Surprisingly, a little less than a 3rd of respondents indicated using the evidence-based practice of hypnotherapy. The present paper discusses these findings from the perspective of optimal survey methodology, examines areas of differences and overlap among response options, and considers the question of the evidence base for the practice of clinical hypnosis.

摘要

临床和实验催眠学会催眠研究功效标准工作组最近进行的一项调查发现，临床医生报告说他们在工作中使用了几种不同催眠方式中的一种或多种。其中最常见的是 Ericksonian，超过 2/3 的临床医生使用，其次是催眠放松疗法和传统催眠。令人惊讶的是，不到三分之一的受访者表示使用循证催眠疗法。本论文从最佳调查方法的角度讨论了这些发现，检查了反应选项之间的差异和重叠区域，并考虑了临床催眠实践的证据基础问题。
