  • Title: What should we mean by empirical validation in hypnotherapy: evidence-based practice in clinical hypnosis.
    Author: Alladin A, Sabatini L, Amundson JK.
    Journal: Int J Clin Exp Hypn; 2007 Apr; 55(2):115-30. PubMed ID: 17365070.
    Abstract:
    This paper briefly surveys the trend of and controversy surrounding empirical validation in psychotherapy. Empirical validation of hypnotherapy has paralleled the practice of validation in psychotherapy and the professionalization of clinical psychology, in general. This evolution in determining what counts as evidence for bona fide clinical practice has gone from theory-driven clinical approaches in the 1960s and 1970s through critical attempts at categorization of empirically supported therapies in the 1990s on to the concept of evidence-based practice in 2006. Implications of this progression in professional psychology are discussed in the light of hypnosis's current quest for validation and empirical accreditation.
