Workshops & Scientific ProgramSCEH Annual WorkshopsBy tradition, SCEH offers introductory, intermediate and advanced level workshops. Workshops are scientifically-based and of the highest teaching quality. Most workshops include demonstrations and/or practica or other experiential components and are led by leaders in the field.
The Workshops program in Boston will include several skills-oriented workshops which can be used toward certification or simply to refresh hypnotic skills. A faculty list and full workshop and session descriptions can be found in the conference brochure.
SCEH Scientific ProgramThe Scientific Program features presentations or symposia that address empirical issues in hypnosis research and practice and related areas. Research presentations shine the light on novel empirically-based findings, including experimental studies, case reports, clinical trials, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews. Symposia bring together top notch researchers as they critically discuss empirical findings pertaining to a specific theme of relevance to the hypnosis community. Many symposia integrate research and practice or draw upon research in psychology, psychiatry, or neuroscience to highlight issues that improve our understanding of hypnosis. Our poster session provides another glimpse into the latest research in the field.

Conference UpdatesImportant Information about CMEPlease be advised that we have been notified that our provider for CME accreditation has abruptly gone out of this business. We have checked with several other ACCME providers, but came to the conclusion that we will not be able to provide ACCME CME for the SCEH meeting this year. We deeply regret this completely unforeseen circumstance. In future we will work with another ACCME provider to be able to have CME accreditation for the 2017 annual meeting.
