teaching of clinical hypnosis and the application of hypnotic technique
in all disciplines of medicine. The Board has established standards of
competence for physicians who voluntarily seek recognition for their
abilities and clinical interests in the application of hypnosis to their
specialty area of medicine. The ABMH encourages and supports research
