The 1950s – In 1955, a sub-committee of the (BMA) British Medical Association called the “Psychological Medicine Group” led by the eminent T. Ferguson Rodger was commissioned to do another more comprehensive report about hypnosis. After consulting with many of the leading experts in the field of hypnosis for over two years, they completed a report published by the British Medical Journal titled “Medical use of hypnotism.”

The report stated that hypnotism should be considered for use in medical practice. The committee also commented on how self-hypnosis was a unique tool that could be used for psychosomatic disorders. Hypnosis has proved very useful in removing the symptoms of unwanted habits, behaviours, and emotions.

The committee also concluded that hypnotism was not only effective in the treatment of psychiatric disabilities but also could be helpful in the production of analgesia, anaesthesia, dental procedures, surgical procedures, and pain relief in childbirth. In the same journal edition, they published that they had discovered abundant evidence from the last 100 years that hypnotism works.

They examined data related to psychosomatic illness, stopping smoking, testing anxiety, and pain relief.
