As in other paradigm-changing scientific fields, mind-body medicine has been attempting to move from magic and intuition to scientific understanding, to
elucidate the mechanisms by which psychophysiologic phenomena manifest.
The work of Dr. Robert Ader (1995), Dr. Candace Pert (1999) and others helped to define the emerging field of psychoneuroimmunology. Some of the data from this area of inquiry has helped clinicians and researchers in being able to understand and articulate the neurophysiologic building blocks of mind-body change.
In recent years there has been growing interest in the "magic" of energy phenomena and their impact on illness and healing.
There is a small but growing literature documenting how research in biology, chemistry and physics can be applied to human energetic systems in ways that impact both traditional and complimentary treatment approaches.
Interest in energy has grown in the hypnosis community as well. Recent years have shown increased interest in workshops exploring the integration of hypnosis with EMDR, acupuncture, and other related modalities.
At the 2002 ASCH Annual Conference, Dr. Daniel Brown presented a fascinating synthesis of research findings pertaining to hypnosis and energy medicine.
