The Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (SCEH) is an international organization of psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, dentists and physicians who are dedicated to the highest level of scientific inquiry and the conscientious application of hypnosis in the clinical setting. SCEH members include a rare global union of some of the finest academicians, researchers and clinicians in the field. Founded in 1949, a distinguishing feature of the Society is its premise that sound clinical practice is built upon serious scientific inquiry and that important empirical questions are often raised by those who care for patients. Through workshops, lectures, publication of the International Journal for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (IJCEH), members educate health care professionals, academicians, researchers, students and the general public about the nature and ethical uses of hypnosis and related phenomena.
