The International Association of Hypno-Analysts is dedicated to the professional and ethical use of Hypnosis allied to the practice of Psycho-Analysis, for the treatment of nervous disorders and emotional problems. The Association is a non profit-making organisation whose Members have followed a course of training in Psychotherapy, Analysis and Hypnosis which enables them to specialise in Hypno-Analytical Therapy.

   Members of the Association are bound by a Code of Practice and Ethnics of the highest order: they have satisfied an Examination Board of their knowledge and level of competence and have undertaken to abide by the Rules of the Association which requires, among other things, that they be covered by Professional Indemnity Insurance and such Certificate of Insurance must be available for inspection. Members have also agreed to discharge each and every client from treatment at the earliest possible moment consistent with that client’s good care. Every Member undertakes to respect a client’s confidentiality at all times and would not even disclose to a spouse or parent that they were undergoing treatment. All Members of the Association have undertaken that any hypnotic (or post hypnotic) suggestion given to any client will be so worded that the effect can only be beneficial to the client. They have a clear understanding of the concept of ‘Symptoms Substitution’ (which without being too technical means the possibility of switching from, say, Agoraphobia to say, Claustrophobia) and in consequence will only use what is popularly termed ‘Suggestion Therapy’ for the more minor problems where the probable substitution can be foreseen and thus controlled. (E.g. Anti-smoking Therapy would contain suggestions o avoid over eating.)

   Each Therapist controls his or her own practice in their own way and consequently there maybe some minor differences from this brochure. Please be assured, however, that the Association aims to maintain standards of the highest order and by selecting a Member of the Association to assist you, your trust will not be betrayed.
