Hypnotic trance. The old and the new.

It has been a long and tumultuous journey for the practice of hypnosis. From the temples of ancient Greece to the hospitals of the 20th century, hypnosis has proven itself time and again to be an effective medical and psychological intervention. The responsibility now lies with clinicians and researchers to continue this practice into the 21st century and beyond.

Biochemical correlates of hypnoanalgesia in arthritic pain patients.

Self-reported levels of pain, anxiety, and depression, and plasma levels of beta-endorphin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin were measured in 19 arthritic pain patients before and after hypnosis designed to produce pain reduction. Correlations were found between levels of pain, anxiety, and depression. Anxiety and depression were negatively related to plasma norepinephrine levels. Dopamine levels were positively correlated with both depression and epinephrine levels and negatively correlated with levels of serotonin. Serotonin levels were positively correlated with levels of beta-endorphin and negatively correlated to epinephrine. Following hypnotherapy, there were clinically and statistically significant decreases in pain, anxiety, and depression and increases in beta-endorphin-like immunoreactive material.

Brief hotline training. An effort to examine impact on volunteers.

In response to community needs and pressures, increasing numbers of small crisis centers and hotline services have emerged. This emergence of services has been possible in part because of the mounting number of eager and interested volunteers. These services want and need training for the volunteers. This article examines the problem of evaluating the kind of information and the kind of training that hotline volunteers were given in a brief training program.
