Abstract
Records of hypnosis in-service education in a children's hospital were kept for eighteen months. Groups receiving the in-service education included registered nurses, residents, medical students, administrative, secretarial, and housekeeping staff, full time physician staff, and voluntary physician staff. Positive outcomes from the in-service education included an increased awareness of the usefulness of hypnosis by hospital staff, the personal use of self-hypnosis by hospital staff, increased use of hypnotherapy among communnity physicians, and development of clinical reserach projects related to hypnosis. Positive attitudes toward hypnosis by members of the hospital staff facilitate the therapeutic successes of physicians and psychologists who teach hypnosis to children.
