Can any doctor refer patients for hypnosis?
The referral must come from a professional person whose specialty is involved. For instance, if a psychological problem is indicated, it would not be within the purview of, say, a cardiologist, to recommend hypnosis. Sometimes, of course, good judgement on the part of the hypnotist must be exercised, since his position, ethically, is a vulnerable one. Unqualified therapy can help no one!
