Confirmatory factor analysis of the Valencia Scale on Attitudes and Beliefs toward Hypnosis.
Health professionals' beliefs and attitudes toward hypnosis may make them reluctant to use it or even to foster misapplications and iatrogenic uses of hypnosis. The Valencia Scale on Attitudes and Beliefs toward Hypnosis-Therapist version (VSABH-T) is a specific instrument to evaluate therapists' attitudes and beliefs. The aims of this study are to evaluate the 8-factor structure of the VSABH-T proposed from a confirmatory perspective. The sample comprised 1,661 licensed psychologists who are members of the Spanish Psychological Association for the initial test and 787 for the retest. Results confirmed the 8-factor structure obtained in a previous exploratory study, namely: Fear, Memory, Help, Control, Collaboration, Interest, Magic, and Marginal. The scale also showed adequate psychometric properties, including good internal consistency and test-retest reliability.

In our society many have always placed an emphasis on finding oneself. Generally, this meant realizing a sense of self-identity. In other words, we want to find out who we are. Often this leads us to seek answers from religious or other spiritual...
A phobia is a special type of fear. This anxiety disorder represents a persistent fear of an object or situation. As such it is a learned mental health disorder that also may be addressed effectively with hypnotherapy.
Like other anxiety disorders, when a phobia is installed in the brain it is due to it an initial sensitizing event, which the person's brain failed to appropriately accommodate. Although a phobia can develop at any time during a person's life, the worst ones are those that occur when a child's brain is still immature. In those situations, a child's hippocampus is seemingly...
