Abstract

We predicted the future of hypnosis for the next 10 years using the Delphi method--the best available forecasting tool. A panel of 89 experts in the field of hypnosis completed a 44-item questionnaire that addressed future developments in these areas: (1) training and preparation, (2) general applications of hypnosis, (3) theory, and (4) research. Also predicted was the likelihood of occurrence of certain cogent events in the field. Results indicated probable increases in emphasis in nearly all areas surveyed. We also solicited nominations for major contributors to the field of hypnosis, major books on hypnosis, and journals most likely to publish articles on hypnosis.
