Help Recognize Deserving Members of the Hypnosis Community

Every year, the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis presents a number of awards to individuals in the world of clinical and experimental hypnosis to acknowledge their service and scientific and clinical contributions to the field.

Call for Awards Nominations

We seek nominations from SCEH members and the general community of hypnosis clinicians and researchers.  Our goal is to encourage the widest breadth of nominations.  Self nominations are accepted.

Awards will be presented in October at the 2019 Annual Conference of SCEH.

Student Posters and Papers Wanted

Have a Poster to Submit?

We are looking for new ideas and topics in hypnosis and related fields that improve our understanding of hypnosis. While topics that address this year’s conference theme, Clinical and Applied Hypnosis: Evidence-based Practice and the Therapeutic Relationship, are requested, other topics are also welcome. 

Poster presentations allow authors to concisely present a case report or data that can be easily grasped in this format. Poster presentations often permit more discussion between presenters and attendees and may be especially advantageous for students, clinicians, and new investigators.
