Question 14616 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Gaël Le Bohec draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the creation of a professional certification in hypnotherapy. The use of hypnotherapy is increasingly common in the treatment of various disorders or pathologies: in cases of intense stress, tobacco or sugar addiction, eating disorders or chronic fatigue. Hypnotherapy is also an alternative therapy used for children and adolescents suffering from school phobia, concentration problems or enuresis. In general, around twenty applications of hypnosis have been noted by the National Institute of Health and Medical Research, including addictions, the preventive field, the sports field, acute or chronic pain, gastroenterology, psychology, psycho-traumatology and victimology. In fact, hypnotherapy has experienced exponential development for several years. The PagesJaunes barometer, which deciphers the uses of Internet users in terms of health searches, has in fact noted, since 2017, an increase in requests relating to hypnotherapy of up to 530% in the space of three years. In the absence of professional certification and a professional standard, patients are not able to know who they are addressing. Also, he would like to know what measures the Government intends to take to secure the practice of hypnotherapy in France.
