Abstract
This paper is a personal account of how I use hypnosis in my clinical work. As the title suggests, there is some conflict between clinicians who use hypnosis purely as an adjunct to behavior therapy and those who are interested in the therapeutic integration of hypnosis into contemporary psychotherapy. As a practising clinician I find the distinction unnecessary and only subscribe to it here as an aid to explanation.
