Abstract
This issue of the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis addresses the efficacy and feasibility of hypnosis interventions for several medical problems and issues. The lead article provides a narrative review of the efficacy of hypnosis interventions for Fibromyalgia. This is followed by a feasibility study of self-administered hypnosis for sleep disturbances in college students and an article on self-hypnosis for self-care in oncology patients. The effect of self-hypnosis on test anxiety is added in a study of secondary school students in Malaysia. These articles are complemented by a survey about hypnosis among students, therapists, and the general public in Poland. These are impactful topics that are addressed from an international perspective. The feasibility and potential efficacy of hypnosis interventions for a range of medical concerns are addressed as well as the impact of beliefs and attitudes about clinical hypnosis.
