Peter did indeed give a great talk... I think some of his work is taking place at UCL. There is a great deal of material out there on hypnosis and research into it. For example some of you may have seen the more four documentary, where a man had an opperation while under hypnosis. You can veiw this online here: http://www.channel4.com/more4/event/H/hypnosurgery/hypnosurgerylive.html It might help if you get intouch with the James Braid Society who are interested in the use of Hypnosis for medical practice. There are a number of places which run couses which are fully acredited to get a full list, you should get in touch with the GHR (general hypnotherapy register) or the Hypnotherapy Society. They will be able to fill in on any other research. I have heard of hypnosis reasearch for IBS and this is one of the links to the research http://www.innovations-report.de/html/berichte/medizin_gesundheit/bericht-49779.html I hope that is of use.
