I was just on the National Guild of Hypnotists website and discovered that they have recently posted PDF archives of the Journal of Hypnotism, the organization’s quarterly journal. The first publication came out in 1951. (See above.)
As the NGH website says, the electronic archives serves as a “preservation of the history of the development of hypnotism as a profession in America since WWII.”
As a member of the National Guild, I always look forward to the Journal arriving in the mail. (Volume 24, Number 1 was just delivered yesterday.) It includes articles written by contributing professionals on topics including techniques, studies, marketing ideas, and legislative and governmental concerns. It will be interesting to go through the archives and see how much the profession has evolved. A quick look suggests we’ve come a long way!
