ABSTRACT

Introduction: Hypnosis is an experimental field of research, but also a set of therapeutic procedures. Research and updated knowledge about its clinical value are necessary for professionals involved in the practice and research in this field.
Objective: To assess the quality of research on the efficacy of clinical hypnosis in Psychology, as well as to review qualitatively its empirical evidence in this field.
Method: In this paper studies published until the year 2015 were reviewed. The criteria for selection of studies reviewed were those of Chambless and Hollonof 1998 and Nathan and Gorman (1998, 2015). The databases examined were PubMed, PsycINFO, PsycArticles, Psyke and Psicodoc.
Results: Regarding the quality and quantity, predominated studies with methodological rigor to be improved, excluding the area of pain. In addition, qualitative review suggests that there is no conclusive evidence on the efficiency of hypnosis as unique intervention or as an adjunct in psychology, except, again, for the case of pain.
Conclusions: So far, no significant developments relevant to efficiency and quality of research on clinical hypnosis in Psychology are appreciated. More research is imperative, with rigorous methodology and longer follow-ups to improve the quality of the studies.
