Hypnosis has been integrated with such professions such as physicians, dentists, psychiatrists, psychologists, chiropractors, social workers, marriage counselors, nurses, massage practitioners, and physical therapists. Recent articles in mainstream media like the New York Times, Forbes, Discover, and ScienceDaily.com report the trends:

• For the power of suggestion to change what people see, feel, and hear
• To combat health problems like losing weight and smoking cessation where other methods have failed
• For hypnotized patients to use less medication, recover faster, and spend less time in the hospital than patients with standard care
• To reduce pain perception

Hypnosis is the state of highly focused consciousness. Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic practice of hypnosis for the purpose of effecting positive behavioral or attitudinal change.
