SCEH 2023 Annual Conference Call for Papers Now Underway

The Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis invites submissions of Workshops, Scientific Presentations and Posters for its upcoming 2023 Annual Conference. The five-day event, the Society's 74th Annual Workshops and Scientific Program, will take place live online, from October 4-8, 2023.

This year's conference theme, Unlocking the Power of Mind: Advances in the Science of Hypnosis, reflects the Society’s continued emphasis on advancing both research and practice. The theme considers the wide range of research questions that arise from studying hypnosis as a route to broadening our fundamental understanding of hypnosis and its practical applications.

Presentations on emerging science, clinical hypnosis techniques/therapeutic uses and their benefits, experiencing consciousness, beliefs and suggestion are some of the few examples captured in this year’s conference theme. We are excited to bring individuals together to expand learning and share knowledge about hypnosis and the brain-body connection, as well as further reinforce how and why integrating the use of hypnosis clinically enhances treatment outcomes. We invite workshop proposals supported by research findings, and scientific program submissions ranging from basic research findings to outcome data broadly relevant to hypnosis.
