This paper reports the results of a 1980 survey of the teaching of hypnosis in U.S. dental schools. Responses were received from 60 dental schools. Information was obtained on hypnosis education in both the predoctoral and postdoctoral curriculums, including what is being taught, how hypnosis education is structured in the curriculum, who is teaching hypnosis, the number of students receiving hypnosis education, and attitudes and policies about hypnosis education. Results of this survey were compared to previous surveys by Parrish (1973) and Scott (1977, for the United Kingdom). The survey reveals a gradual increase in the number of U.S. dental schools teaching hypnosis.
