ASCH News

With this current newsletter, I bring you the latest from the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis. As previously mentioned in my most recent report to our membership, Dr. Julie Linden is putting the final touches on our upcoming Special Issue: Hypnosis and Women’s Health Across the Lifespan. The Special Issue will be published in September and November, respectively in Issues 4 and 5 of Volume 68. In the meantime, Volume 68(2) was recently published and available on our publisher’s website and can be accessed for all ASCH members online.  

I once again invite ASCH members interested in joining our Editorial Board to compose a letter of interest, including preferred areas of clinical hypnosis interest, with an attached CV to dreid@drdavidreid.com

In closing, and as a reminder: The AJCH publishes original scientific articles and clinical case reports on hypnosis, as well as book reviews and abstracts of the current hypnosis literature. The purview of AJCH articles includes multiple and single case studies, empirical research studies, models of treatment, theories of hypnosis, and occasional special articles pertaining to hypnosis. 

Topics and “keywords” can include: hypnosis, hypnotizability, hypnotic applications, psychiatry, psychology, dentistry, nursing, general medicine, pain management, wellness, stress management, hypnosis inclusion with other treatment modalities/interventions (e.g., mindfulness, CBT, ACT, DBT, etc.). 

We welcome your submissions and look forward to future collaborations that advance the application and promotion of clinical hypnosis. Find instructions for authors here.
