British
Institute of Hypnotherapy
Numerous
organisations and associations exist specializing in this form of
treatment and there are many practitioners who operate independently. Some
are extremely competent while others, unfortunately, fall very short of
even the minimum requirements. Obviously it is helpful if one can be
recommended by a friend, a previous client, or your Doctor, but as this is
not usually the case, one way of ensuring you make the right choice is to
approach the British Institute of Hypnotherapy, (BIH), which is an
association of Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists committed to high
standards of ethical practice and professional competence.
We believe that people can and should have
unrestricted access to the means by which the quality of their lives may
be improved, but we also believe they have a right to expect the
practitioner to be competent and committed to the care and well being of
his/her clients. To this end, any practitioner who applies for membership
of the BIH is required to provide proof of training to a suitable level
before being accepted. They are also expected to work within the
boundaries of the Institutes Code of Practice (which is available for
inspection by the public), and it is a condition of membership that they
have full professional indemnity insurance to cover. They are also made
aware of the fact that the BIH operates a complaints procedure.
You may be assured that strict confidentiality is
observed at all times, within the rule of law. Under no circumstances will
any communication be entered into with any third party unless it is with
the permission of the client.

The
Hypnotherapy Society
The
Hypnotherapy Research Society [UK] was inaugurated in May 1997 and is a
new and independent venture dedicated to encourage quality research into
clinical hypnosis and hypnotherapy. It will provide a source of
intelligent material for the further professional education of members who
are keen to learn from fellow practitioners and researchers. The Society
is the brainchild of a group consisting of medical doctors, psychologists,
psychotherapists and clinical hypnotherapists who regularly use clinical
hypnotherapy in their treatment of their clients and patients. The Society
was first proposed during late 1994 after which we commenced collating a
nominal roll of hypnotherapy practitioners who advertised their
professional services throughout Great Britain and Europe. We are also
affiliated with the HRS in the United States.
The purpose of the Society
is to encourage practising hypnotherapists and researchers of clinical
hypnosis to write, or consider writing, papers of their theories,
experiences and any practical research they have undertaken in the field
of clinical hypnosis or hypnotherapy. We consider that such research can
eventually be used to up-date existing theories and methodologies, much of
which is now very dated and in need of a fresh perspective. We propose
that members' papers and appropriate research theses should be collated
and those of merit published by the Society for the benefit of all members
in the form of a prestigious annual Journal. The Journal will aim, in a
short space of time, to become a professional "peer review"
journal. In addition, more general newsletters will be issued with Society
news, professional developments, reviews and other matters of general
interest to members. The newsletters will be less formal than the more prestigious
Society Journal. The Society has drawn together an experienced
team of experts to further this aim while, at the same time, it will
endeavour to enhance the professional interests of all clinical
hypnotherapists.
