Often, in fact, the greatest gains are made by those who reach only a light or moderate stage. In 1957 the American Medical Association gave the science of hypnosis its stamp of approval as a safe, efficient and effective modality of treatment. It was that same year that the Institute For Hypnotherapy was founded by Sidney Petrie to meet the need for a reliable center of which the public could attend and physicians, clinics and other professional agencies could refer their patients in need of hypnotherapy. Since the inception of the Institute For Hypnotherapy, more than a quarter of a million people have attended these programs, which have been steadily amended and improved so that they now represent what we believe to be one of the most effective and dynamic systems of behavioral conditioning available today. The development of the Petrie Method of Hypnosis and our continued research and findings has repeatedly sparked the interest of other professional hypnotherapists as well as the science journals and the media.
Hypnosis offers both a unique and exciting approach to self-improvement.
Its enormous range seems boundless whether its purpose is to accelerate the acquisition of manual dexterity and sporting skills, to promote intellectual effectiveness, to reduce and manage pain or to control what seems to be hopeless addictions. We point to years of experience as professionals whose personal success is absolutely dependent on your success. A major ingredient of successful hypnosis is experience. To the best of our knowledge, no organization in the U.S.A., perhaps the world, has had the experience of The Institute For Hypnotherapy, which presently amounts to almost 1 million client hours. Further, we offer an important protection for you.
