Hypnosis finds safe haven in Sheffield

Article Abstract:

Sheffield University's centre for psychotherapeutic studies has introduced a new Masters course in Hypnotherapy for health professionals who want to supplement their work with hypnosis techniques. There has been an increasing demand for hypnotherapy training by medical or dental professionals over the past 40 years, although this course is one of very few available in the United Kingdom because not enough research has been done to give hypnotherapy a respectable name in the scientific community.
