I am pleased to provide our membership with an update on the developments concerning the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis. Since my previous communication, AJCH has released Volume 67(3), and our final issue of Volume 67 will be accessible to members this month. In our November issue, we will be presented with a diverse array of articles, each contributing to our expanding knowledge and appreciation of the multifaceted nature of clinical hypnosis. The clinical topics covered encompass a bibliometric analysis of EEG-based hypnosis research, selective hypnosis interventions for managing emetophobia, dental anxiety, subjective well-being in ischemic heart disease, and enhancing the quality of life following invasive mole treatment. A unique integration of therapeutic modalities, combining hypnotic relaxation therapy with mandala art therapy, exemplifies the diversity of clinical hypnosis.
This issue also features a comprehensive review of international literature, facilitated by the exploratory efforts of Eric Willmarth, Kiva Bostick, and Vashon Smith. Additionally, we have a current book review authored by Dr. Eric Willmarth of Dr. Ran Anbar’s recent publication, “The Life Guide for Teens: Harnessing Your Inner Power to be Healthy, Happy, and Confident.” Our Special Issue dedicated to clinical hypnosis and its impact on women’s health and healthcare is currently underway and is anticipated to be ready for publication in early 2026.
As always, I remain accessible to address any inquiries, concerns, or feedback you may have regarding the journal or its recent publications. I extend my gratitude to our esteemed editorial board for their unwavering support of the journal and eagerly anticipate my continued collaboration with the ASCH Board of Directors as we embark on the development of Volume 68 in 2026.
