The nhs expect to see results, how can you get results from something you can't see?
...and therein lies the challenge faced by almost every 'alternative' therapy or treatment technique, especially for psychological issues. I have seen attitudes change though, especially over the past 5 or so years, even if the funding hasn't always followed suit. It's great to see mindfulness, acupuncture, and elements of the 12 Steps being adopted by hospitals, for example.

I dislike watching magic on TV and things like Derren brown so haven't really been tainted by it. I tend to keep an open mind until I've experienced something first hand anyway.
You'd better stay away from this new show then (and not just because Phillip Schofield is hosting it): http://metro.co.uk/2014/03/30/look-into-my-eyes-phillip-schofield-set-to-host-game-show-youre-back-in-the-room-where-contestants-are-hypnotised-4683128/

AFAIK it's rarely available on the nhs due to the complications of the paperwork. The nhs expect to see results, how can you get results from something you can't see? Especially when treatment is a long term process.

Although it is called 'hypnosis' it is essentially guided mindfulness or meditation. Neither of these have the same stigma attached.
