Marisa Duffy writes and interesting profile on Dr. David Spiegel’s study of hypnosis at Stanford and elsewhere, beginning with his wife’s use of hypnosis for painfree childbirth . . . Pain Relief That’s All in the Mind (web) . . . I have written about Spiegel and his work here before so it’s nice to see a current piece, particularly one that also covers alternative care for cancer patients.  Thank you to Seth-Deborah Roth (blog) for the heads up as she posted a link to the story to a number of the hypnosis email lists.
